Top Receiver ASN report reveals organizations identified by provider ASNs receiving the most traffic for the selected interval.
- . Autonomous System Number when supplied by systems using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
- . Name associated with the receiver ASN.
- . Number of bytes received. ( option on the Report Settings
dialog ranks the list by number of Packets or Flows instead of Bytes.) - . Average bit rate, in bits per second (bps), for the selected date range.
- . Fraction of total bandwidth capacity used. "N/A" denotes the measurement cannot be calculated because the bandwidth capability is unknown for the current interface.
- . Percentage of the total traffic.
To display Flow and Packet measurements, click a column heading for column selection list (_). You can also include:
