IPv6 Addresses Starting with NetBeez release 4.0, NetBeez agents will report and display IPv6 addresses on the user dashboard. This new feature enables network engineers who have deployed IPv6 to verify that their networks are properly assigning IPv6 addresses to their clients. This feature has been long awaited by our…
How to Monitor SD-WAN There are several factors that should be considered when implementing an SD-WAN solution. One of them is network monitoring. In this post, we review some SD-WAN challenges and how network monitoring can help overcome them. Path Remediation and Failover One of the benefits of SD-WAN is…
Benefits of SD-WAN In a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), a branch router uses two or more network connections to dynamically route traffic over one another based on its profile. For example, real-time Voice-over-IP (VoIP) traffic is sent through a low latency MPLS circuit, while high bandwidth applications that don’t…
What is an RFC1918 address? An RFC1918 address is an IP address that is assigned by an enterprise organization to an internal host. These IP addresses are used in private networks, which are not available, or reachable, from the Internet. In fact, one of the basic requirements of the Internet…

Network Troubleshooting When troubleshooting network problems, it’s very important to keep theOSI model in mind and work your way up from the physical layer to the application layer. This bottom-up approach helps to successfully troubleshoot network problems because each layer relies on the lower one to function properly. In this…
Traceroute is an IP utility that is used to list all the routers (or “routing hops”) that are between the source host that issues the command and the destination host that is passed as argument. For each router, the command returns its IP address, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) if…
Service Assurance (SA) for telecommunication networks is defined as the set of processes and policies in place to verify that network services meet predefined Service-Level Agreements (SLA). Service assurance is typically enforced by using one or more network monitoring tools to constantly perform checks and tests against network services and…
We are happy to announce the launch of WiFi connection timing as part of NetBeez release 3.0.
