Understanding NetFlow duplication: Why it happens, and how to deduplicate

NetFlow is a popular network protocol for collecting metadata about traffic flows across your environment so that it can be exported for analysis and monitoring. One of the most common issues that users encounter is NetFlow duplication, which occurs when identical flow records from the same conversation are recorded from different sources. Flow duplication inflates traffic data, undermining capacity planning and making top-talker rankings unreliable.

10 Top Network Traffic Analysis Tools for Faster Troubleshooting and Capacity Planning

A request to upgrade a saturated circuit is easy to raise and hard to defend. The interface graph proves the link is full. It says nothing about which application, host or conversation filled it, so the spend gets approved on assumption instead of evidence. The same missing detail turns up everywhere else. Incidents run long because the cause is guessed at, capacity planning rests on estimates, and security questions arrive weeks after the traffic record expired.

Megaport Collaborates With NVIDIA to Boost AI in Australia

Australia’s home-grown global automated infrastructure platform is part of a cohort of companies with Australian operations that will provide regional businesses and institutions access to NVIDIA accelerated computing and NVIDIA Nemotron open models. It’s a point of pride for all of us at Megaport that we’ve built a global automated infrastructure platform while maintaining our deep Australian roots.

The network layer securing your multicloud traffic

You migrated the workload. The app's live across clouds. But is the traffic between them actually locked down, or just assumed to be? There's a layer of the network doing the heavy lifting here, and it goes by a name that gets confused with something else constantly. Full breakdown on our blog, link in bio.

What is IP transit and how does it work?

The Internet may feel like a single, seamless network but behind every connection is a vast web of interconnected networks. For businesses, Internet service providers (ISPs) and other network operators, reaching users and services around the world depends on how efficiently traffic can move between these networks. This is where IP transit comes in.

On a Network, an Agent Acts Where the Blast Radius Is Largest

Every network engineer carries an instinct that outsiders mistake for caution: a change in one place can travel. Reroute a path, push a policy, drop an interface, and the effect can ripple across campus, data center, WAN, and cloud before the first alert is read. The blast radius of a network change is the reason operators move deliberately, and it is the single most important thing an AI agent takes on the moment it is allowed to act on the network instead of merely describe it.

The VM Boom For AI Agents | David Crawshaw Co-Founder & CEO, exe.dev

What happens when AI agents stop simply answering questions and start using computers of their own? It could create an entirely new boom in virtual machines. In this episode of Uplink, David Crawshaw, Co-Founder and CEO of exe.dev, joins host Michael Reid to explore the infrastructure behind the rapidly emerging world of AI agents. As agents become capable of writing code, running applications, operating tools, maintaining state, and working independently, they need more than access to an AI model. They need computing environments where they can actually get work done.

What Is RPO and How Can You Reduce It to Minutes?

Learn what RPO means, how it differs from RTO, and how faster backup storage can help reduce data loss after disruption. When designing a backup and disaster recovery strategy, organizations often simply ask how quickly they can recover. But a more important question to ask is how much data they can afford to lose. Backups are only as useful as the point in time they can return you to. If a payment system fails at 2 p.m.

What is Backup and Disaster Recovery? A Complete Guide

Learn what backup and disaster recovery means, how BDR works, and why it matters for reducing downtime and data loss. Backup and disaster recovery (BDR) is what keeps data loss from becoming a business-wide catastrophe. And to protect their business, IT teams need to ask if they can recover the right data, in the right order, fast enough for the business to keep operating. A backup can preserve a copy of a file, database, or workload, but disaster recovery is what brings the wider service back online.

What is IPsec?

Our Megaport technical expert, Steve Tu explains what IPsec is, how it secures network traffic, and where it’s used across VPN and cloud connectivity. About Megaport Deploying infrastructure should be fast and simple. Megaport’s software-defined platform provides private compute, network, and storage — so you can build secure, scalable infrastructure for cloud, enterprise, and global AI inference workloads.

SAP HANA Monitoring Tools 2026: How to Compare Options and Simplify Monitoring

If your team works with SAP HANA, the main challenge usually isn’t finding another dashboard. The real difficulty is identifying which tool can quickly help you trace vague complaints about slow transactions to their root cause. In many setups, SAP HANA monitoring is divided among native SAP interfaces, cloud monitoring, infrastructure dashboards, and the broader monitoring systems used by the rest of IT. This fragmented approach can slow down root cause analysis.

Why Connectivity Is the Next Growth Opportunity for Managed Service Providers

Learn how NaaS helps MSPs add connectivity services and respond faster to customers without building a global network. For many Managed Service Providers (MSPs), connectivity is still the part of a customer solution they control the least. An MSP may manage the cloud environment and secure access to it, but adding a circuit can still mean carrier lead times and manual coordination. Options may also narrow when the customer enters a new market. This reality doesn’t match with customer expectations.

For whoever has to explain the cloud bill to finance every month.

As infrastructure gets more complex, with workloads spread across clouds, regions, and providers, every hop your data takes between them adds up. Where do these costs actually come from? Has your team ever traced a surprise bill back to data movement? With Megaport, cloud egress costs are minimized by routing data privately between providers, avoiding the higher transfer rates associated with public internet routing.

How to Break Into Network Engineering With Network+ and No Prior Experience

Breaking into network engineering can feel difficult when every job posting seems to ask for experience you do not have yet. But experience does not always have to start with a full-time networking role. Certifications, hands-on labs, personal projects, and entry-level IT work can all help you build the foundation employers expect.

AI in the public sector (infrastructure challenges and solutions)

The U.S. government has cataloged over 1,700 active AI use cases, and nearly 90% of federal agencies are already using or planning to use AI. The European Commission has disclosed nearly 1,500 AI use cases across EU member states. With over 3,200 combined AI use cases cataloged across the US and EU, public sector IT leaders face an identical roadblock: traditional application delivery controllers were not designed to parse or throttle Layer 7 LLM payloads, leading to backend GPU exhaustion.
