eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by RbtSteelPrtBandTest

Monitoring bandwidth is one of the most critical aspects of network management and traffic monitoring software. Without comprehensive insight into traffic type and bandwidth utilization, it is not possible to ensure proper availability of bandwidth.

This test reports the following information:

  • Determine the applications and hosts taking up critical bandwidth.

  • Assist with identifying unauthorized applications.

  • Ensure critical applications receive enough bandwidth.

Using this test, administrators can plan for spikes in usage, identify bandwidth-hogging applications and ensure critical applications get the requisite amount of bandwidth.

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

Outputs of the test : Application Port

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
dataRcvdFromLAN Indicates the amount of data that has been received through application port over WAN to LAN. MB/sec Comparing these values across device to identify the inbound traffic flowing from the WAN to the LAN.
dataTxmtdFromLAN Indicates the amount of data that has been transmitted through application port over WAN to LAN. MB/sec
dataRcvdFromWAN Indicates the amount of data that has been received through application port over LAN to WAN. MB/sec Comparing these values across device to identify the outbound traffic flowing from the LAN to the WAN.
dataTxmtdFromWAN Indicates the amount of data that has been transmitted through application port over LAN to WAN. MB/sec
