With SolarWinds® NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA), you can build customizable reports and alerts to help you detect issues at the first sign of trouble. NTA is built to report on current and historical network traffic data, including flow data and CBQoS data, so you can detect trends in peak bandwidth usage and adjust policies for better management.
You can also set alerts for immediate insight into unusual network traffic changes, as when bandwidth usage exceeds set thresholds.
Identify problem endpoints and applications with configurable network traffic analysis
In a large, busy network with lots of applications using up bandwidth, it’s critical for you to detect bandwidth top talkers. NTA’s network traffic analysis tools help you uncover which specific endpoints and applications are generating heavy network traffic and creating bottlenecks.
Use custom options to track network and application traffic arriving from applications, designated ports, source IPs, destination IPs, or protocols.
Gain a comprehensive, compatible overview with network traffic analysis software
NTA is built to offer comprehensive network traffic analysis for all your network elements by automatically collecting and correlating traffic data. Gain insight into network traffic patterns for any network element. NTA is built to collect and analyze flow data from multiple vendors, including:
- Collectors for NetFlow v5 and v9
- Huawei NetStream
- Juniper J-Flow
- sFlow
- IPFIX
- Advanced application recognition with NBAR2
In addition, NTA is designed to analyze network traffic through custom, overlapping IP address groups—which allows you to create your own IP address groups to view network traffic the way you want to see it.
Use network traffic visualization tools for instant insight into bandwidth usage
NTA is designed to present user-friendly network traffic visualization in a web-based interface. Get to the root cause of bandwidth issues with an intuitive point-and-click interface. This network traffic analysis tool helps identify peak bandwidth usage within your network and displays top talkers in color-coded graphs and charts.
This comprehensive, customizable view on a single pane of glass can help you spot potential trouble as you analyze network traffic and prevent potentially recurrent bandwidth issues.
Use cross-stack data correlation and QoS insights to improve network traffic flow
NTA is built to offer the network insights you need to improve network traffic flow. The SolarWinds PerfStack™ feature is built to offer cross-stack network traffic data correlation for fast visual insights. Drag and drop network traffic analysis metrics on a timeline to analyze network data and NetFlow analytics in one view.
What’s more, NTA offers class-based quality of service (CBQoS) data through SNMP. Together, these features can help you make changes to improve your network traffic flow and quality of service—and allow you to easily view the effectiveness of those changes.

Do you find yourself asking…
Network traffic analysis is the process of collecting and examining network data to understand and improve the performance of your network. Network traffic analysis can allow you to identify bottlenecks in your network causing slowdowns or may soon impact quality of service for end users.
Network traffic analysis is often focused on leveraging flow data for insights into bandwidth usage across your network. Networks are designed with a limited amount of bandwidth. When an array of applications, endpoints, and users are using this bandwidth, performance issues can arise.
With network traffic analysis, you can identify bandwidth-consuming applications, users, protocols, or IP address groups, also known as “top talkers.” In this way, network traffic analysis can help you avoid overloading your network capacity and ensure end-user experience is satisfactory.
