Further Reading
Qosium is real-time and passive QoS (Quality of Service) and QoE (Quality of Experience) measurement solution. This section goes into more details of what Qosium truly is and what you can achieve with it.
Tutorials are the best resource for getting the hang of network measurements with Qosium. These guides are designed for anyone with basic knowledge of computer networks to grasp the basic concepts and workflows of Qosium quickly.
These guides introduce features and functionalities of Qosium, and how to use them.
Some network measurement technology concepts are extensive and challenging to understand from a couple of lines of explanation. These articles delve deeper into the most common concepts that you may run across while using Qosium.
Qosium Probe is the heart of the Qosium family. It is the software that carries out the actual measurement as instructed by measurement controllers like Qosium Scope, Qosium Scopemon, or even your own developed upon the QMCP API provided by Kaitotek.
Qosium Scope is a real-time measurement and analysis tool. With Scope, you can control Qosium Probes remotely and collect and visualize measurement results.
Qosium Scope Lite is a command-line tool for performing measurements from command line interface. While it lacks many graphical features that Scope has, it is a light-weight solution to control Qosium measurements and collect results. As a command line solution, it can be controlled also through shell scripts.
Qosium Scopemon is a QoS/QoE monitoring tool. This sibling of Qosium Scope is designed for constant, always-on traffic monitoring instead of targeted measurements.
Qosium Storage is the results server of the Qosium measurement system. It is composed of a QMCP receiver, a database optimized for Qosium statistics, and a web server for browsing the content. The web server includes a REST API, allowing external systems to fetch results directly. Qosium Storage’s high-level statistics quickly tell if there is something wrong with the monitored network.
This section goes through some of the most typical special situations that the users can face when performing measurements with Qosium. Hints and solution proposals are given on how to proceed.
