Jitter is one of the core network metrics that you should be measuring when monitoring your network performance. Jitter is your network's biggest enemy when using UC and real-time apps like IP telephony, video conferencing, and virtual desktop infrastructure. The most accurate way to measure Jitter is by using a Network Monitoring Software, like Obkio. For example: The amount of jitter displayed over an aggregated period of 1h is the worst median jitter of all the small 1-min periods within that hour.

Packet loss is one of the core network metrics that you should be measuring when monitoring your network performance. The most accurate way to measure packet loss is by using a Network Monitoring Software, like Obkio. This frequency is essential because packet loss is based on a percentage. For that percentage to be accurate, you need to monitor continuous volume. Easily see the percentage of packet loss anywhere in your network with updates every 500ms.

How to Monitor Google Cloud Interconnect and Network Performance Google Cloud Interconnect promises data transfers with low latency, and high availability - but how can you make sure that it’s actually performing as promised? Monitoring Google Cloud performance is the key to identifying slowdowns, high levels of packet loss, and other problems affecting Google Cloud. Measuring and monitoring is the first step to troubleshooting network problems.

What is Network Monitoring? We talk a lot about monitoring Network Performance, but what exactly does that mean? Let’s quickly go over the vocabulary surrounding network monitoring. When we talk about traditional network monitoring, we often refer to Fault Monitoring or Device Monitoring. Network monitoring covers a vast range of techniques. Network Performance Monitoring differs from traditional monitoring because performance is monitored.

It’s not about if there will be network problems, but rather when they will happen and how to solve them. What is Network Troubleshooting? Network troubleshooting refers to the combined measures and processes used to identify, locate, and resolve network problems located anywhere along a network. How do you troubleshoot network problems? Check your hardware Believe it or not, many network problems may be caused by faulty hardware, bad physical connections, or incorrect configurations.

Zoom’s popularity has skyrocketed over the past year. It’s not only an application that we use for convenience, but for many of us, we rely on it for everyday conversation VoIP Quality and unified communication applications, like Zoom, can be drastically impacted by poor network performance. So monitoring network performance helps you identify performance issues & improve your Zoom performance.

In today's tutorial, you will learn how to add a 2nd Public Monitoring Agent in Obkio’s app and how to create a 2nd Monitoring Session. When looking at the results of a Network Session, it tells us what the performance is between 2 points on the network. For example, let’s say you have a 1st Agent installed in your network and a 1st Public Monitoring Agent installed in Azure and you want to add a second 2nd remote Public Monitoring Agent

VoIP and Unified Communication apps, such as Microsoft Teams, are more sensitive to network performance than other applications. So whether you’re working from an office, or your own home, you want to make sure your VoIP and UC apps are performing as they should be. Whether you’re an IT pro or not, you can easily monitor Microsoft network performance and quickly find network problems affecting Microsoft apps.

Many traditional network monitoring solutions use a packet capture method to capture real-user data and monitor network performance. Now, modern network monitoring tools have switched to synthetic monitoring to monitor network performance without collecting user information. What is Synthetic Monitoring? It is a monitoring technique used to monitor application and network performance by simulating user activity.

Many businesses are embracing remote offices and working from home, storing their data in the Cloud, and ditching centralized data infrastructures. With distributed architectures becoming the new normal, it’s important to have a distributed monitoring solution that can keep up.
