Bandwidth hogs have no place to hide when you use the new features in Orion NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) v3.6 as your secret weapon.
Orion NTA analyzes NetFlow, J-Flow, IPFIX, and sFlow® data to deliver a complete picture of network traffic, identifying who and what are consuming your bandwidth. This new version includes exciting new features requested by clever network engineers on our thwack community, including:
- Top Talker Optimization – focuses your traffic analysis on the users and apps that consume the majority of network bandwidth
- Advanced Application Mapping – correlates the traffic arriving from designated ports, source IPs, destination IPs, and even protocols, to application names you can easily recognize
- IP Address Grouping – helps you analyze network traffic with custom overlapping IP address groups

On many networks, up to 95% of all network traffic can be captured in as little as 4% of the total amount of Flow data received. If you are primarily using Orion NetFlow Traffic Analyzer to determine who the "top talkers" are on your network, you are storing a lot of unnecessary data in your database.
As a result, your database may be unnecessarily large and the load times for Orion NTA resources and reports may be unnecessarily long. With Orion NTA 3.6, you can enable Top Talker Optimization to significantly boost the performance of your installation in just two easy steps:
- Navigate to NTA Settings in Orion Admin area
- Set Top Talker Optimization to 95%
That’s all there is to it!
NOTE: If you’re using NTA 3.5, you can still manually enable Top Talker Optimization by following the steps outlined here.
