Measures reported by RbtSteelTopSrcTest

The RbtSteelTopSrcTest test auto-discovers the source hosts whose interactions with other hosts in the environment are resulting in large volumes of data being transmitted over a network interface. In the event of a network slowdown, you can use this test to isolate those hosts that are engaged in bandwidth-intensive transactions with other hosts, and could hence be contributing to the slowdown.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each source IP for the Riverbed Steelhead device is being monitored.

Descriptor of the test : Source IP address

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Generated_traffic Indicates the amount of traffic generated from the source across Steelhead device. GB Compare the value of this measure across sources to identify which source host is contributing to the high level of network traffic.
