The main area of using SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) is helping to analyze the traffic. The getting information can be used in investigation of resources or circuit overutilization (as a result - inaccessibility) in real-time as well as for some period of time. Unfortunately, applications recognition is not the strong side of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) - it provides very general information.
