# Traffic Insights System Requirements

This section describes certain prerequisites, plus hardware, software, and configuration requirements for Traffic Insights components, including:

* Enterprise Agent requirements for [forwarder configuration](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/traffic-insights/traffic-insights-system-requirements/forwarder-requirements).
* Cisco and non-Cisco device and setup requirements for [traffic monitor configuration](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/traffic-insights/traffic-insights-system-requirements/traffic-monitor-requirements).
* Network [flow record configuration](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/traffic-insights/traffic-insights-system-requirements/flow-record-requirements) requirements.

## Component Relationships

The relationship between Traffic Insights [network components](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/traffic-insights#traffic-insights-key-components) also has certain attributes.

* Multiple traffic monitors can send network flow data to a single Enterprise Agent that’s been enabled as a forwarder. See [Supported Enterprise Agents](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/traffic-insights/traffic-insights-system-requirements/forwarder-requirements#supported-enterprise-agents) to see the max number of monitors per agent type.
* A single traffic monitor can be watching different interfaces, and send network flow data for multiple interfaces to the same forwarder.
* The same interface can be monitored for both IPv4 and IPv6.
