Question: Network Monitoring

Networks can be very dynamic in terms of changing patterns of communications. One minute a network may be running smoothly with no delays, while the next minute there are network slowdowns. Regularly monitoring your network is vital, because there are many factors that can influence its performance.

Another reason why network activity changes is that client activity changes on the basis of times of the day and days of the week. Finally, a network may be slow because of an attack on one or more servers or workstations, from malicious software, a denial of service attack, buffer overflows, and other reasons.
