Methods and High-performance Tools for Collecting, Analysis and Visualization of Data Exchange with a Focus on Research and Education Telecommunications Networks.

The paper is focuses on the methods that have come into practice, key functions and software instruments for collecting, analysis and visualization of network traffic statistics. The source of information is NetFlow telemetry data collected from network equipment. In addition to being used by network engineers and technicians, including for the purposes of network monitoring, incident handling, identification of network congestion and the main bandwidth utilizers with details on autonomous systems or IP addresses of sources and recipients, protocols, services and applications, NetFlow data is of interest in the context of monitoring and analysis of network interaction between users, service providers and consumers. The paper provides a detailed description of the developed and implemented on the basis of the new generation National Research Computer Network of Russia of the up-to-date and high-performance software solution for working with network telemetry data; specific examples of the capabilities are given in order to advanced analytics and descriptive data visualization in real time, taking into account the special needs of industry telecommunications networks in the field of research and education.
