Why you need Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM)

A few decades ago, monitoring your application was simple—everything ran on-premises, and performance issues were easier to pinpoint. But today, applications are built on globally distributed services, running across internal and external systems in the cloud, all connected through the Internet. In a world where the Internet is now your network, traditional APM (Application Performance Monitoring) isn’t enough. It only focuses on code and infrastructure, leaving critical blind spots that impact performance, availability, and user experience.

Breaking Down Silos with Correlation and Context

In modern IT environments, data is abundant, but clarity is rare. Enterprises deploy dozens of monitoring tools to collect metrics, events, and logs from across the network, yet when something goes wrong, teams still scramble to connect the dots. Why? Because these data streams exist in siloes, isolated by format, source, or system.

How HTTPS (HTTP) Proxies Differ from SOCKS5: Understanding Protocol Differences

A proxy server functions as a go-between for the client and the destination server. It's commonly used to bypass content restrictions, boost online security, and improve anonymity. There are several types of proxy protocols available, with HTTP and SOCKS being among the most widely used. But how exactly do they differ-and how should you decide which one to use?

How does observability enhance operations in cloud native voice networks?

The 17th century saw the onset of the Scientific Revolution. It was a time of knowledge explosion. During this time, scientific practices were still evolving, with no universally accepted protocols for data collection and analysis. Individuals documented any observation, resulting in the collection of massive amounts of information, but much of it was hard to leverage to draw useful conclusions. The development of the scientific method provided a common approach to capturing and analyzing data.

Lessons Learned in LLM Prompt Security: Securing AI with AI

But now you’ve got another challenge: How do you connect them all efficiently without running into performance issues, high costs, or security risks?

How to find Network Visibility Gaps: Strategies to Ensure Resilience and Performance

As IT infrastructures grow more complex, visibility and resilience have never been more critical. With hybrid IT, remote workforces, and distributed services, your network extends far beyond the data center or cloud—it spans the internet. Traditional monitoring tools leave blind spots that impact user experience and lead to costly downtime. To stay ahead, modern network performance monitoring (NPM) must evolve.

The Scourge of Excessive AS-SETs

An AS-SET is a special object that represents a group of ASNs and forms the basis for IRR-based route filtering. However, many AS-SETs in circulation today have grown so big that they effectively whitelist much of the routing table, rendering them ineffective. According to recent analysis, there are currently 2,192 AS-SETs which expand to over 1,000 ASNs each! In this blog post, we’ll describe what an AS-SET is, its role in route filtering, and how to deal with excessively large AS-SETs.

Can Your Network Monitoring Tool Keep Up? | Obkio

A while ago, your company chose a network monitoring tool that worked perfectly — back when most employees worked in the office, networks were centralized, applications ran on-premise, and "the cloud" was just a buzzword. But today? Your network has evolved (SD-WAN, remote work, SaaS apps), while your monitoring tool hasn’t. Now, false alerts flood your team, troubleshooting takes hours instead of minutes, and your tool only monitors your network devices but offers zero visibility into performance from the end-user perspective or critical cloud-based apps.
