Network Management: Accounting and Performance Strategies imparts a deep
understanding of Cisco IOS(r) embedded management for monitoring and
optimizing performance, together with proven best strategies for both
accounting and performance management.
Benoit Claise and Ralf Wolter begin by introducing the role of
accounting and performance management in today’s large-scale data and
voice networks. They present widely accepted performance standards and
definitions, along with today’s best practice methodologies for data
collection.
Next, they turn to Cisco devices and the Cisco IOS Software,
illuminating embedded management and device instrumentation features
that enable you to thoroughly characterize performance, plan network
enhancements, and anticipate potential problems and prevent them.
Network standards, technologies, and Cisco solutions covered in depth
include Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Management
Information Bases (MIB), Remote Monitoring (RMON), IP accounting,
NetFlow, BGP policy accounting, AAA Accounting, Network Based
Application Recognition (NBAR), and IP SLA (formerly known as SAA). For
each, the authors present practical examples and hands-on techniques.
The book concludes with chapter-length scenarios that walk you through
accounting and performance management for five different applications:
data network monitoring, capacity planning, billing, security, and voice
network performance.
Network Management: Accounting and Performance Strategies will be
indispensable to every professional concerned with network performance,
effectiveness, or profitability, especially NMS/OSS architects, network
and service designers, network administrators, and anyone responsible
for network accounting or billing.
