Online monitoring tool

• Type of traffic (e.g.Fileact)

• Which service

• Which SNL

• The exact pattern

• The concurrent traffic

When can I expect

peaks ?

Is my traffic well

balanced across

SNLs ?

Is there a

bottleneck ?

Have volumes /

throughputs

increased ? Can I handle more

traffic in my current

setup ?
