ProCurve Implements Wireless Traffic Monitoring Standard

ProCurve Networking has announced the implementation of sFlow technology for wireless network access, a move designed to provide customers with increased visibility into wireless network traffic.

ProCurve and InMon Corporation jointly developed the wireless extensions for sFlow, an industry-standard technology that uses packet-based traffic sampling to provide network-wide visibility. sFlow claims to boost insight into network traffic both in wired and wireless environments, and it scales to large network deployments, allowing customers to quickly respond to security threats.

Customers will be able to use wireless sFlow to assist in wireless deployment, troubleshooting wireless signal or performance issues, as well as gaining visibility into network traffic such as top talkers, top applications and connections.

"By including sFlow technology in our wireless platform, we are making it easier for enterprises to monitor network devices, enforce security and analyse traffic flows across both a wired and wireless infrastructure," said Paul Congdon, chief technology officer, ProCurve Networking by HP.
