Network performance monitoring across carriers and peering

Monitor latency, peering and carrier behaviour across the routes your traffic actually takes. Correlate network events with application performance and customer experience degradation.

Capabilities

What it puts in front of your teams

Every capability is available from day one. No additional instrumentation required beyond the initial agent deployment.

See a live demonstration
01

Bandwidth and throughput

Real-time and historical bandwidth utilisation across every link in your estate.

02

Latency and packet analysis

Round-trip time, jitter and packet loss measurement at the path level.

03

Carrier and peering visibility

Identify which carrier or peering point is contributing to latency spikes in customer-facing applications.

04

Correlation with experience

Connect a network event to the application transaction and customer journey degradation it caused.

05

DNS and routing intelligence

Track DNS resolution times, routing changes and BGP events that affect reachability and user-perceived performance.

06

Multi-site topology view

Visualise your full network estate across data centres, cloud regions and edge locations in one unified map.

How it works

From signal to action in seconds

01

Deploy once

A lightweight Edge agent deploys to your environment. Auto-discovery maps services, hosts and applications without manual configuration.

02

Collect everything

A checkout page starts loading slowly in Lagos but not in Nairobi. Network monitoring traces the degradation to an MTN peering point handling westbound traffic and provides the evidence needed to escalate to the carrier.

03

Act with confidence

Anomaly detection, root cause analysis and AI-assisted recommendations give your teams the context to act fast and correctly.

Real scenario

A checkout page starts loading slowly in Lagos but not in Nairobi. Network monitoring traces the degradation to an MTN peering point handling westbound traffic and provides the evidence needed to escalate to the carrier.

Business outcomes

What changes for the business

01

Correct attribution

Identify whether performance problems originate in your infrastructure, your application or your carrier.

02

Evidence for carriers

Go to SLA conversations with data rather than anecdote. Network metrics provide the evidence for carrier disputes.

03

Regional insight

Understand performance differences across geographies and carriers, and make routing decisions based on evidence.

Platform ecosystem

Better together with the Edge platform

NET writes its data to the Edge Datalake, making it queryable and correlatable alongside every other module in real time.

Questions

Network Monitoring questions, answered

What does Edge Network Monitoring monitor?

Edge Network Monitoring captures signals including round-trip time, jitter, packet loss, bandwidth utilisation, dns resolution time, bgp route changes, and provides bandwidth and throughput, latency and packet analysis, carrier and peering visibility and more.

How is Edge Network Monitoring deployed?

Edge connects through lightweight agents or agentless connectors — typically 2–4 hours for a standard environment — and can be deployed on-premises, in your private cloud or in a regional cloud, so monitoring data stays within your jurisdiction.

Does it work with the monitoring tools we already use?

Yes. Edge is designed for a no-rip-and-replace approach and connects alongside your existing stack, with 100+ integrations across cloud, containers, databases, APM agents, telemetry standards and alerting channels.

How does NET connect to the rest of Edge?

NET writes its data to the Edge Datalake, so it can be queried and correlated in real time with application traces, logs, infrastructure metrics and real user data from the other Edge modules.

How is it priced?

Pricing is tailored to the scale of your environment, the modules you choose and your deployment model. Start with a short, no-obligation discovery session and NCG will prepare a scoped proposal.
