About the Optimized Throughput report
The Optimized Throughput report summarizes the throughput for the port, traffic direction, and time period specified.
For details about the Data Store Status information, see the
About the Performance Details report. The Optimized Throughput report includes Optimized LAN and WAN Link Throughput graphs, which include these statistics that describe data activity for the application and the time period you specify:
LAN Average (bps)
Displays the average throughput. RiOS calculates the LAN average at each data point by taking the number of bytes transferred, converting that to bits, and then dividing by the granularity. For instance, if the system reports 100 bytes for a data point with a 10-second granularity, RiOS calculates:
100 bytes * 8 bits/byte / 10 seconds = 80 bps
This means that 80 bps was the average throughput over that 10-second period. The average that appears below the LAN Average is an average of all displayed averages.
WAN Average (bps)
Displays the average throughput. RiOS calculates the WAN average at each data point by taking the number of bytes transferred, converting that to bits, and then dividing by the granularity. For instance, if the system reports 100 bytes for a data point with a 10-second granularity, RiOS calculates:
100 bytes * 8 bits/byte / 10 seconds = 80 bps
This means that 80 bps was the average throughput over that 10-second period. The average that appears below the WAN Average is an average of all displayed averages.
The navigator shadows the WAN Peak series.
The Optimized Throughput report answers these questions:
• What was the average WAN and LAN throughput?
• What was the peak WAN and LAN throughput?
Mouse over a specific data point to see what the y values and exact time stamp were in relation to peaks.
The Riverbed system reports on performance for periods up to one month. However, due to performance and disk space considerations, data representation in reports for periods longer than the last five minutes are interpolated from aggregate data points. The Optimized Throughput report displays these data granularities:
• Last 1 hour's worth of data is available at 10-second granularity.
• Last 1 day's worth of data is available at five-minute granularity.
• Last 1 week's worth of data is available at one-hour granularity.
• Last 1 month's worth of data is available at two-hour granularity.
