Optimize network performance by ensuring both you and your peers are locally connected. When it comes to Internet Exchanges (IXs), there are two types of peering: local peering and remote peering. And depending on your network setup and goals, the type you use can have a significant impact on your network performance. While remote peering has valuable use cases, we often see customers using it in scenarios where it is actually doing more harm than good to their network performance.

SHARE Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps are messages sent by SNMP devices that notify network monitoring systems about device events or significant status changes. At LogicMonitor, our view on SNMP has evolved over the years. While we have often favored other logging methods that offered more insights and were considered easier to analyze in the past, we recognize that SNMP traps remain an essential tool in network management.

Packet loss is one of the most common network problems that can occur at any moment, impacting various applications and services, including Internet performance. When users experience issues like slow loading times or dropped connections, their first instinct may be to wonder: Is the packet loss on my end or my ISP's end? How can I know if my ISP is experiencing packet loss? This question is crucial for both customers and ISPs.

When managing an enterprise-level network, ensuring seamless synchronization between servers is crucial for maintaining consistency and security. That's where Repadmin, a command-line tool designed for diagnosing and managing Active Directory (AD) replication, comes into play. It is an essential tool for IT administrators working in Windows Server environments, providing deep insights into the health of replication processes within the network.

Software as a Service (SaaS) is growing at a rapid rate with businesses increasingly reliant on cloud-based solutions. According to the 2024 State of SaaS Growth report, organisations globally now use an average of 371 SaaS applications. This surge in adoption means that IT leaders are tasked with managing a more complex environment, which comes with a suite of challenges. To ensure the performance, security and reliability of these services, network connectivity is critical.
