Where is your traffic headed?
I remember the first time I saw the CC-NOC in action. A test unit had come up to our corporate HQ to give us a chance to play around with it. The next thing I knew, we were all crowded around a desk, looking at a breakdown of what kind of traffic our network was generating. We knew which one of our machines was generating the most traffic…and that streaming music sites were very popular on our network (we counted 3 that day on our Network Report card).
Well, that wasn’t really a shocker. But it was exciting to see traffic analysis handled like that, and to me it’s still the first image my mind comes up with when I think about CC-NOC’s impressive network monitoring capabilities. I’m sure some of you out there have had similar experiences, so I put this question to you: Where is your traffic headed? What are people on your network visiting? Is there anything interesting you didn’t think you’d see?
