The Reports > Endpoints > Branch Warming report summarizes the overall bi-directional warming benefits to and from the branch SteelHead for every SteelHead Mobile connected to the Mobile Controller.

The Branch Warming report includes the following table of statistics that describe branch warming utilization for the time period you specify.

Field	Description
Warmed bytes sent to local SteelHeads	Specifies the count of warmed bytes sent to the local SteelHead from SteelHead Mobile clients.
Warmed bytes pulled from local SteelHead	Specifies the bytes pulled from the local SteelHead rather than transferred over WAN because of branch warming. In addition, it indicates the percentage share of warmed bytes in total bytes generated by the client.
Total Branch Warming Bytes generated	Specifies the sum of bytes sent to the local SteelHead from the SteelHead Mobile clients plus the bytes pulled by the SteelHead Mobile clients from local SteelHeads.

What This Report Tells You

The Branch Warming report answers this question: How many bytes were pushed and pulled to warm the branch SteelHead and SteelHead Mobile data stores?
