The Daily Network Monitor

The Barcelona show is in full swing, unfortunately we didn’t have much time to attend the keynotes , but we did get to discuss networking management and monitoring with a great number of attendees and one thing stood out very clearly. How much enterprise networking professionals are concerned with bandwidth management. Not just looking at the bandwidth with tools like Netflow, but being able to prioritize and allocate bandwidth to certain applications over others within a corporate infrastructure. This is something that the carriers are already doing with MPLS and traffic engineering extensions. Interesting trend.
