You’ve probably heard the term synthetic traffic tossed around in conversations about network visibility. It sounds fancy, but the idea is simple:
You’re sending controlled test traffic through your network to measure how things behave before users s...
When a provider delivers a new circuit, the critical question is: does it really perform to the SLA the customer is paying for?
Traditionally, proving this meant either sending engineers on-site with test gear (expensive truck rolls) or hoping that p...
Imagine an SFP that does more than just connect devices — what if it could run synthetic tests, measure throughput, and even detect microbursts on your network? What if that same SFP could test new circuits and ensure compliance with SLAs?
Now go fur...
As a network engineer, I’m always fascinated by how others approach observability. We’ve all leaned on the classics — SNMP, NetFlow, and increasingly, model-driven telemetry. But with the shift toward AI workloads, real-time applications, and microse...
Introduction The explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) has created new opportunities and challenges across enterprise and service provider networks. AI-based systems are poised to transform how networks ar...
I love the comment, but lets look at it from this perspective, if I am running a synthetic test over vlan xx, that is actual data plane traffic, and while it may not be real traffic, we are seeing those packets traverse from source to destination on ...
I use the OVA, on a mac added it to fusion, with NAT, checked ifconfig vmnet8 on my machine as my GW and once the toolkit came up, checked ifconfig put that IP in my etc/host file and thats it. pretty east install.
