The Traffic Summary report provides a percentage breakdown of the amount of traffic going through the system by the port and type of traffic.

The SCC automatically discovers all the ports in the system that have traffic. The discovered port along with a label (if one exists) is added to the report. If a label doesn’t exist, then an unknown label is added to the discovered port.

If you want to change the unknown label to a name representing the port, you must add the port with a new label. All statistics for this new port label are preserved from the time the port was discovered.

The Traffic Summary report displays a maximum of 16 colors for ports. If you have more than 16 ports, the colors in the report wrap from the beginning.

The Traffic Summary report provides these statistics that describe data activity for the application and the time period you specify:

Displays the TCP/IP port number and application for each row of statistics.

Displays the amount of data reduction.

Displays the amount of traffic through the LAN.

Displays the amount of traffic on the WAN.

Displays the percentage of the total traffic each port represents.

The Traffic Summary report answers these questions:

The Riverbed reporting functionality polls bandwidth and connection metrics every 15 seconds and reports on performance for periods up to one month. Every 15-second sample is used for calculating its average and peak value. However, due to performance and disk space considerations, data representation in reports for periods longer than the last five minutes are interpolated between data points obtained by aggregating more than one 15-second sample. The display granularity decreases with time passed since data was sampled.
