Internet and WAN

The Internet Is Your New Enterprise WAN

Whether delivering a digital service to customers or connecting your employees to SaaS applications, more of the networks you rely on for effective service delivery are now outside your four walls. Visibility into the Internet and cloud service networks is now critical to ensuring the continuity of your business.

ThousandEyes offers time-correlated visibility across network, application, routing and device layers, giving you deep and broad insight into how the performance of Internet and WAN connectivity impacts user experience.

Path Visualization

ThousandEyes sets the gold standard for network path visualization, offering a unified and interactive view of all network paths between selected vantage points and target URLs or IPs. This advanced path visualization incorporates 16 categories of data and metrics, including rDNS, BGP ASN, geolocation, end-to-end metrics, and hop-by-hop metrics. When outages occur, you can instantly access Internet Insights™ views for a broad analysis. ThousandEyes effectively manages diverse scenarios, such as MPLS WANs, Internet paths, and multi-layer network topologies, including SD-WAN and cloud-based security, with comprehensive visibility into WAN or VPN overlay and underlay connectivity.

Network issues can doom user transactions, page loads and service availability and performance

End-to-End Network Performance

Network issues can severely impact user transactions, page loads, and overall service availability and performance. From any combination of Cloud and Enterprise Agents, you can simulate TCP or ICMP-based interactions to a target URL or IP address to accurately measure network loss, latency, and jitter. Agents deployed at both ends make it possible to conduct advanced network tests using UDP or RTP for comprehensive network analysis and optimization.

Traffic Insights

Traffic Insights enhances visibility within enterprise networks by automatically correlating flow metrics with synthetic data, allowing network teams to quickly identify how traffic associated with specific applications, end users, and networks is impacting performance and end-user experiences. Featuring an intuitive user interface and robust operational integrations, Traffic Insights streamlines root cause identification, reducing the need for costly and inefficient manual troubleshooting.

BGP Visualization

ThousandEyes enhances network visibility by ingesting BGP routing data from global BGP collectors and seamlessly integrating it as a configurable layer beneath service, network, and path visualization layers. When a service URL is specified for testing, layered BGP tests automatically monitor reachability and track path changes for any related prefix. If an IP address is used as the test target, the corresponding Internet-routed prefix is continuously monitored. Additionally, you can set up specific BGP monitoring for a prefix and receive alerts on suspected hijacks and leaks, ensuring comprehensive network security and performance.

Web Server Availability and Response Time

A variety of protocol-specific tests (HTTP, SIP, RTP) can be run in parallel with web transactions, or standalone, alongside network layer visibility.

DNS Performance and Integrity

DNS tests monitor the availability and response time of DNS servers, as well as the integrity of DNS responses.

Run recursive and iterative queries to DNS servers and get alerted to performance and security issues
Trace DNS domain resolution across every zone in DNS delegation
Validate and monitor DNSSEC

DNS monitoring tests the availability and response time of DNS servers, as well as the integrity of DNS responses

ThousandEyes agents deployed in your own environment can poll network devices like switches, routers and firewalls via SNMP

Network Device Metrics

ThousandEyes agents deployed within your own environment can poll network devices like switches, routers and firewalls via SNMP to collect link states, throughput, errors, discards by interface, as well as other metrics. You can then track, report and alert on the performance of a device, subnet or your entire network, and compare trends across time and locations to detect bottlenecks. Device health data is tightly correlated with network performance visibility so you can quickly pinpoint root cause down to the interface level. Supported MIBs include those from vendors such as Cisco, HPE and others.

Auto-Discovery of Network Topology

Using LLDP/CDP and SNMP device polling, ThousandEyes auto-discovers your network infrastructure, collects diagnostic information and maps out your devices, remote and local, in a single topology to help you quickly locate failure points. This Path Visualization of your corporate network can be customized to match your own knowledge of the network.
