Measures reported by RbtSteelTopTkrsTest

The traffic flows that generate the heaviest use of WAN bandwidth are known as the Top Talkers. A traffic flow consists of data sent and received from a first single IP address and port number to a second single IP address and port number over the same protocol.

This test reports the information about traffic flows that happens between source and destination IPs. Using this test, administrators can track down the top talking IPs that are generating most traffic in our network.

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

Descriptor of the test : Source IP and Destination IP

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Data_transmission Indicates the amount of data transmission flows measured on the top talkers. GB Compare the value of this measure across all IPs to identify the IPs that are overutilizing WAN and creating traffic.
