How does WhatsUp Gold support Cisco NBAR?
Mission critical applications –such as ERP or workforce optimization applications– can be intelligently identified and classified using Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR). NBAR is an intelligent classification engine in Cisco IOS Software that can recognize a wide variety of applications, including Web-based and client/server applications. Once these mission critical applications are classified they can be guaranteed a minimum amount of bandwidth, policy routed, and marked for preferential treatment. WhatsUp Gold Flow Monitor intelligently identifies classifies and oversees NBAR traffic, including difficulty-to-classify protocols and applications that utilize dynamic TCP/UDP port assignments.
