Stop the Finger Pointing!
So you've gotten a new Internet connection, but instead of fast
Internet access, all you have are problems. Your firewall vendor says that the problem is with the circuit, while your carrier says the problem is with the firewall. How do you stop the finger pointing and get
speeds that you need?
The Network Utility Knife (NUK)
NUK sits between your firewall and your Internet connection providing a testing point. NUK uses tools that carriers use to test
circuits, e.g. iperf, in both client and server mode and Netflow data collection. You can test to the NUK. The carrier can test to the NUK.
We can test to the NUK.
If you and the carrier both test clean to the NUK, then we can show you how much bandwidth you are using and what
websites your users are visiting. The link below will show you what kind of information NUK can collect.
