Device Instrumentation: active and passive performance monitoring (Ralf Wolter, Cisco Systems, Germany)

Basic and Advanced Concepts in Wireless Networking (Mallik Tatipamula, Juniper Networks, Sunnyvale, California)

[ Ralf Wolter (Cisco Systems, Germany) ] Title: Device Instrumentation: active and passive performance monitoring Abstract: Starting by describing typical business cases, this session will explore how to use device management instrumentation features to improve visibility into the network. We will discuss monitoring standards, communication approaches between the device and the NMS applications, and vendor implementations by taking Cisco as an example. Features covered in details include MIBS, NetFlow, IP SLA, NBAR, etc. This session concludes with specific scenarios, such as performance monitoring, capacity planning, voice, and security. Audience: This session is relevant to both Enterprises and Service Providers Prerequisites: Participants should be familiar with SNMP and basic NMS concepts Bio: Ralf Wolter is a Senior Manager at Cisco Systems. He leads the Technology Consulting Engineering team for Europe and works closely with corporate engineering as well as supporting large customer projects and presenting at industry conferences.
