Using the Traffic Monitor

ProductBar EMPTYLinked Diagram TemplateLinked Diagram TemplateLinked Diagram TemplateLinked Diagram TemplateProductBar EMPTY

You can view incoming and outgoing traffic for selected network interfaces and QoS classes using the Traffic Monitor. This enables you to identify network traffic trends and anomalies, and to fine tune Traffic Shaper QoS class assignments.

The Traffic Monitor displays separate bar charts for incoming traffic and outgoing traffic, and displays traffic rates in kilobits/second. If desired, you can change the number of seconds represented by the bars in the charts, using the procedure Configuring Traffic Monitor Settings.

In network traffic reports, the traffic is color-coded as described in the following table. In the All QoS Classes report, the traffic is color-coded by QoS class.
