Explanation
To successfully baseline a network it is important to consider two functions; performance at protocol level and performance at application level. There are many significant metrics to consider at the protocol level, but only a few which are critical. The most important is bandwidthutilizationcompared with bandwidth availability. The most likely cause of poor network performance is insufficient bandwidth. Trending bandwidthutilizationallows you torecognizeproblem areas, provide enough bandwidth to reach performance objectives, and predict future capacity requirements. Changes in bandwidthutilizationpatterns also provide a clear indication of network usage alterations, such as a change in end-userbehavior, or theunauthorizedaddition of an application.
