Mikrotik devices are feature-rich and wallet-lite and that makes them one of the most used devices in the Europe and the rest of the World. Numerous SOHO and SMB companies use them for great graphical interfaces (winbox) and their huge customization list, which comes from their in-house RouterOS and SwitchOS which can also be installed on regular PCs. The feature list extends to NetFlow and

When thinking about network traffic and security, we usually end up considering NetFlow Analyzers for analytics and monitoring. It allows us to plan our network and detect security issues fast and easy.

But the raising concern is also our core need for End User traffic consumption monitoring, as it has been stated that the huge amount of the attacks originate from the inside the

As the problem of multicast flow analysis was addressed in our previous blog, we have distinguished two scenarios input and output flow accounting configuration. Therefore, during the following demonstration, we will investigate how NetFlow multicast flow data looks like when these two configuration variations are used.

With the rapid proliferation of video services, particularly video streaming, deployment of multicast services demands an appropriate monitoring to be in place in order to keep track of this traffic type. Adequate and comprehensive monitoring is particularly important to account for all parameters that may affect very sensitive nature of video services. In previous blogs for Cisco and Juniper

Enterprise network administrators are facing an increasing number of challenges when it comes to network monitoring. Business critical services must be clearly distinguished from the other traffic classes and always monitored in terms of specific QoS parameters. Depending on the AUP (acceptable use policy) aside from business-oriented applications and services, other application may be
