It’s extremely stressful for network administrators troubleshooting issues related to multicast network performance, as it is time consuming and requires knowledge of command-line interface (CLI) and advanced scripting. In such situations, automated network performance monitoring systems come in handy.


One such network monitoring software is SolarWinds (News - Alert) Network Performance Monitor (NPM). This software facilitates in quick detection, diagnosis and resolving of network performance issues before outages occur.

SolarWinds is a provider of purpose-built IT products related to networks, servers, applications, storage and virtualization.

Apart from providing real-time views and dashboards that help users to visually track and monitor network performance, SolarWinds NPM also tracks response time, availability and uptime of routers, switches and other simple network management protocol (SNMP)-enabled devices. In addition, it also uses dynamic network topology maps and automated network discovery.

Recently, SolarWinds launched the latest version, V10.5, of the software with bolstered features, such as network route monitoring and network multicast monitoring capabilities.

The network route-monitoring feature on SolarWinds NPM augments the software’s fault and performance monitoring capability by providing real-time network route information alongside device status and performance statistics.

The new network multicast monitoring feature on SolarWinds NPM facilitates IT personnel to monitor routers, switches and end-points that receive and forward multicast packets by automatically detecting and importing existing multicast groups and applications.
