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

Sep 11, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog

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

Sep 11, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata

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.

Sep 10, 2026 By Megaport In Megaport

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?

Sep 9, 2026 By Lily Bennett In Console Connect

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

Sep 9, 2026 By Dallon Robinette In Selector

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

Sep 8, 2026 By Megaport In Megaport

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?

Sep 8, 2026 By Morgan Wang In Megaport

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.
