For the most part the use of the Traffic Analyzer software is
universal to both types of NAM. However, there are some
slight differences in the setup and available reports. This
section will treat the Traffic Analyzer software in general,
when there is a difference, a text box will indicate for which
NAM the diagram is referring to.

Network Analysis Module Road Map
The feature-rich architecture of the NAM enables you to gain different levels of visibility and perspectives on
your network. You can use the NAM for acute problem resolution or for performance monitoring and network
planning. You can view your network from an application response-time perspective, or from quality of
service for voice and data. The wealth of possibilities for mining the NAM for valuable data means that you
must identify what you want to use the NAM for and how to configure it to meet your needs. This road map is
designed to do just that, to help you navigate the features and configuration options of the NAM to help you
reach your destination. The next sections guide you through each of the steps illustrated in the figure above.
