What Is an Internet Traffic Monitor?
Network traffic monitors (also known as application traffic managers, bandwidth managers, or QoS devices) have been around since 2000, and were first developed by Packteer in the United States. However, because network bandwidth issues have not been significant, corporate IT departments have not paid enough attention to bandwidth. With the application of various new network technologies and the development of network multimedia technologies, the problem of shortage of network bandwidth is becoming increasingly apparent. Especially since 2005, P2P applications have brought serious threats to bandwidth management, so the market for bandwidth managers has developed greatly in the past three years. According to incomplete statistics, this market has exceeded nearly 2.5 billion US dollars. China's bandwidth management market has only gradually received attention since 2004
