Network Performance Management

• The most important Network Management challenge today is – Why is the Application slow? – As a Network manager you are only worried about

“Why is the Network slow?” part of the problem• End Users experience sluggish performance of an

application that is running in the Data Center which they are accessing over a WAN from the branch office• Network Managers need to ensure whether the

problem is with the Network

Why is the Network Slow?

• Usual Suspects– High Utilization of links– Performance degradation caused by a component

fault• Eg. A faulty, overloaded or a wrongly configured router

Troubleshooting Network Performance – High Utilization

• Analyzing WAN Traffic using Cisco Netflow– Is the link utilization abnormally high?– Is it legitimate business traffic or is a user streaming

video?– Identify which user or application consumes more

bandwidth in real-time

Troubleshooting Network Performance - WAN RTT

• Identify bottlenecks in your WAN using Cisco IP SLA– Which paths have the highest RTT?– Pinpoint network devices with high latency– Is it your Network router or ISP routers?

Troubleshooting Network Performance – Component Health

• Health of Network Devices– Are your router overloaded? – Performance metrics like CPU utilization, Memory utilization, Temperature etc. give you

visibility into device health– What is causing the overload? – Wrong configuration ? Abnormally high traffic?
