Collect Real-Time Network Performance Measurements
Obkio’s Network Troubleshooting tool starts by establishing a baseline and continuously monitoring your network for issues like latency, packet loss, jitter, and more.
Leverage Obkio’s real-time insights, which continuously generate synthetic traffic to simulate user behaviour and measure network performance metrics from the end-user perspective, to gain a comprehensive view of your network's performance. Measure critical metrics like latency, jitter, and packet loss to establish a reliable baseline for optimal performance.
With continuous monitoring, Obkio establishes a performance baseline, enabling you to detect network issues immediately as soon as your network performance deviates from this baseline.
Obkio presents all your network performance metrics in clear, visual graphs, allowing you to identify performance issues at a glance. The Network Response Time graph provides insights into metrics such as latency, jitter, and packet loss, along with their specific measurements. Meanwhile, the VoIP Quality graph showcases the quality of calls made over the network.
Do You Have A Network Issue?
Analyze the data to detect and identify network issues affecting performance.
At this point, you’ll have complete visibility into your network's performance, with continuous monitoring in place. The next step is to determine if your network is experiencing any issues affecting connectivity or performance. Here, you’ll encounter two possible scenarios:
It looks like your network has a performance issue.
If an issue arises, Obkio's alerts will promptly notify you. But don’t worry—Obkio’s Network Troubleshooting Tool is ready to assist! When network problems occur, you can dive deep into the specifics to understand what’s happening:
Congrats, no major network issues were detected!
If performance issues persist despite no obvious network problems, Obkio can help you dig deeper to identify the root cause. Or, if everything is running smoothly, you can get back to handling your other projects with peace of mind.
First: What are your network performance measurements?
Obkio’s Network Troubleshooting Tool provides real-time insights into key performance metrics like latency, jitter, and packet loss. You can set thresholds to help you understand when these metrics are at dangerously high levels that can affect performance. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about understanding how efficiently your network is handling data and applications.
Imagine you’re on a VoIP call or hosting a video conference. If your network’s latency or jitter spikes, your call quality will suffer – resulting in lag or distorted communication. Obkio helps you monitor these metrics to ensure smooth, uninterrupted performance, no matter the task.
Second: What is an acceptable network performance benchmark?
Obkio helps you establish performance benchmarks tailored to your network’s specific needs.
For instance, maintaining low latency and jitter is essential for VoIP and video conferencing to run smoothly. A slight increase in these metrics can significantly impact call quality. By setting acceptable benchmarks, like keeping jitter below 30ms or latency under 100ms, you ensure your network meets the demands of critical applications, allowing your team to stay productive and connected.
Troubleshoot & Diagnose Network Problems with Ease
Narrow down when network problems started to identify trends and potential causes.
With Obkio’s Network Troubleshooting Tool, you can easily detect network issues in real-time. By analyzing historical data and setting up instant alerts, Obkio enables you to determine whether an issue is occurring in real-time, has happened in the past, or is intermittent and difficult to detect. With Obkio's continuous monitoring, you'll never miss a critical moment.
To dig deeper, you can leverage Obkio's Device Monitoring feature, which provides real-time insights into the performance of your network devices, such as routers, switches, and firewalls. This feature lets you track device metrics like latency, packet loss, and bandwidth utilization to see how your devices might be contributing to the issue.
Stay proactive and resolve issues quickly to keep your network running smoothly.
Pinpoint Where Network Issues are Happening
Use Obkio’s tool to uncover the specific locations in your network experiencing issues.
Having identified network issues, it’s crucial to drill down and uncover where these problems are happening - whether they're happening in your network, or your MSP or ISP's network. Obkio's comprehensive monitoring & troubleshooting tool empowers you to pinpoint the exact locations in your network, or MSP network, that are experiencing performance disruptions.
Adding to your troubleshooting arsenal is Obkio Vision, our free visual traceroute tool. It continuously interprets traceroute results, making it faster and easier than ever to troubleshoot network problems across your WAN and the Internet.
With features like the Quality Matrix, which monitors multiple network destinations, and the graphical network map that displays the quality score for each router, Obkio Vision allows you to see the exact paths your data takes and where bottlenecks may occur. You can also share traceroute results with your MSP or ISP, if issues are happening on their side.
Identify the Root Cause of Network Issues
Drill-down into the data to understand what's causing performance issues in your network.
Now that you’ve identified potential network issues, the next vital step is to determine the underlying causes. Obkio’s Troubleshooting Tool serves as your gateway to uncovering these root causes, offering essential insights that enable you to tackle performance issues head-on.
Network congestion
Congestion occurs when the network pathways become overwhelmed with data traffic, causing delays in packet transmission and resulting in increased latency.
Network Device Issues
Malfunctions or inefficiencies in network devices such as routers, switches, or cables can disrupt data transmission and lead to slower network speeds.
Insufficient Bandwidth
When there isn’t enough bandwidth allocated for essential applications, performance can suffer during busy times, leading to a poor user experience and diminished application functionality.
Configuration Errors
Incorrect settings in network devices can result in connectivity issues, inefficient routing, or bottlenecks that slow down the entire network. Additionally, improper routing protocols or incorrect DNS configurations can lead to delays in resolving domain names, causing websites or applications to become unreachable.
External Factors
External elements like network interference, environmental noise, and weather conditions can lead to increased latency and packet loss. These disruptions can significantly impact the quality of VoIP calls, ultimately lowering the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) and affecting overall network performance.
