What is network performance monitoring?

Network performance monitoring is the process of continuously measuring and analyzing the health, speed, and reliability of a computer network. It involves tracking various metrics such as bandwidth usage, latency, packet loss, and uptime to detect issues and optimize network performance. Effective network performance monitoring helps organizations quickly identify and resolve problems, ensuring smooth connectivity and minimizing downtime.
