On the Quality of Experience (QoE) dashboard you can monitor traffic on your network. QoE uses Packet Analysis Sensors to provide packet-level traffic information about key devices and applications.
With QoE, you can:
With the ability to analyze packet traffic, QoE provides real observed network response time (NRT) and application response time (ART). In addition, Packet Analysis Sensors can classify and categorize traffic for over 1000 different applications by associated purpose and risk-level.
Traffic data is captured using packet analysis sensors. These sensors collect packets using either a dedicated Windows SPAN or mirror port monitor or directly on your Windows server. Packet Analysis Sensors capture packets from the local network interface (NIC) and then analyze collected packets to calculate metrics for application performance monitoring. These metrics provide information about application health and allow you to identify possible application performance issues before they are reported by end-users.
For more information about specific implementations of QoE, see Common Packet Analysis Sensor deployment scenarios.
