Description

Description
Use flows to replace guesswork with math for bandwidth, peering, and cloud egress decisions. You will learn to compute 95th percentile correctly, separate sustained growth from temporary bursts, and forecast saturation dates. Dashboards show the split by site, VLAN, application tag, and ASN so budget conversations are grounded. We cover peering and transit analysis to highlight where cost and performance diverge, and how to visualize that for non‑engineers. A module on cloud egress maps traffic to accounts and regions, pairing flows with public pricing to estimate monthly exposure. You will build capacity ladders that turn upgrades into staged investments with clear triggers and milestones. Templates include a quarterly review pack with the exact pages finance and leadership request most often. By the end, you can defend timing for upgrades, renegotiate peering confidently, and avoid surprise bills. The emphasis is pragmatic: small, accurate charts that change decisions.
