LiveAction QoS Monitor: Monitor QoS Policies in Real-Time

QoS monitoring is essential before, during, and after any quality of service project. Prior to deployment, monitoring establishes a baseline of applications on your network and their respective traffic levels. Monitoring is needed during deployment to validate and verify that policies are exacting the expected behavior on network traffic. Finally, post-deployment monitoring is used to spot anomalies in QoS performance and also perform trending analysis that may indicate the need to fine tune QoS policies.

QoS Monitor Screen and Callouts

LiveAction QoS Monitor provides the ability to visually track QoS performance on a per-class basis both in real-time and for historical time periods. Engineers can gain a deep understanding of traffic and QoS behavior using LiveAction’s application (NBAR), class or queuing views. Monitoring and alerting of priority queue drops provides proactive notification of potential voice and video quality issues. LiveAction software makes it easy to observe the effectiveness of your QoS policies by showing live graphs of traffic before and after QoS is applied. The effects of any changes in your policies or traffic mix will be immediately evident here including congestion and priority queue drops.
