NetScout offers a comprehensive family of intelligent data sources that provide packet flow-based visibility for all applications and services that flow across global networks.

All NetScout intelligent data sources leverage the Common Data Model (CDM) architecture. CDM is a NetScout technology innovation that creates a common set of statistics and metrics across multiple data sources. These sources derive traffic intelligence regardless of interface type--IP, NetFlow, etc. CDM provides a highly scalable technology foundation that feeds into the nGenius® Service Assurance Solution and enables consistent metrics across a broad-range of interfaces and data sources.
