In today's world of networks, it is not enough simply to have a network assuring its optimal performance is key. Customers who are turned away or disconnected due to any sort of network failure are likely to change vendors or providers. Consequently, network performance monitoring (NPM) must be done to find these errors quickly, so that they can be corrected as soon as possible. But, as real-world experience with a network will quickly demonstrate, there is no one single factor that explains all difficulties and failures, nor is there any one level of monitoring that can detect every issue. Attackers from both outside and within may have planted viruses or Trojan Horse programs, which can drain company resources or transmit classified data to unauthorized recipients.
