Network performance monitoring

There're some options like: perSONAR, OWAMP, Netnorad?. About the last one - it's a tool that was created by Facebook engineering to monitor their DC. The best thing about Netnorad is that the tool is able to randomize source port numbers, so the polarization problems wont occur. Dont know if perSONAR or OWAMP could to that. The downside of Netnorad is that it's just source code, or something like that - you need to to additional programing job to run it.

Maybe you guys have some recomendations of network performance monitoring ? Some othertools? Or some existing ones?
Thanks

I use Grafana with Zabbix as a datasource.

Hello, maybe i've described not correctly enough.

What i need is not network monitoring system. I need Network performance tester for end-to-end network measurements. Something like perfSonar, or Netnorad. Have you any recommendations. The prerequisite is that the software would be able to randomize source ports to avoid loadbalancing-polarziation poblem where all traffic goes through one link.

So you're saying that Jperf is not what you want
