Measures reported by RbtSteelTopPortTest

One of the key challenges that network administrators face every day is identifying the application ports that are bandwidth-intensive and the root-cause for traffic congestion. The RbtSteelTopPortTest test helps administrators tackle this challenge!

This test auto-discovers the top-n application ports (in terms of volume of traffic they generate) and reports those application ports that are consuming maximum bandwidth and those that could probably be choking the network link.

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

Descriptor of the test : Port number

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Generated_traffic Indicates the amount of traffic generated on the specified application port. GB Compare the value of this measure across application ports to identify which application ports is contributing to the high level of network traffic.
