NetFlow Analyzer vs. PingPlotter

NetFlow Analyzer utilizes Cisco® NetFlow, IPFIX and compatible netflow-like protocols to help net admins with bandwidth monitoring, deep network traffic investigation, analyses and reporting. By visualizing the traffic by network devices, interfaces, subnets and end users, net admins can better understand bandwidth consumption, traffic trends, applications, host traffic and traffic anomalies.

Sometimes solving a network problem takes more than rebooting the router. When that's the case, understanding the cause of the problem is essential to finding a solution. Is it your local network, the website you're accessing, or something in between? PingPlotter makes finding and proving the source of network problems easier. It tests the route between your computer and a target website then graphs the results. Visual evidence helps diagnose problems faster. It also helps persuade others to make changes if you find a problem with a network you do not control.
