And what tools are available to help us? In these situations, Network Performance Monitoring tools might be just what you need.

How to Detect Network Congestion | Obkio

Network Congestion, similar to road congestion, occurs when your network cannot adequately handle the traffic flowing through it. While network congestion is usually temporary, it can cause annoying network problems that can affect performance and can be a sign of a larger issue in your network. That's why you need an end-to-end monitoring tool to help you proactively detect network congestion. Obkio Network Monitoring continuously monitors end-to-end network performance from your local network (LAN, VPN), as well as third-party networks (WAN, ISP, and Internet Peering).

That’s why, in this article, we’re running you through how to detect network congestion with Network Monitoring tools.
