Top Receiver Groups

Top Receiver Groups report reveals IP groups receiving the most traffic.

Groups are defined ranges of host IP addresses you specify using the NTA IP Groups dialog.

Group. Receiver IP group name.
Bytes. Number of bytes received. (Sort by option on the Report Settings dialog ranks the list by number of Packets or Flows instead of Bytes.)
Bit Rate. Total average bit rate.
Byte Percentage. Percentage of the total traffic.

To display Flow and Packet measurements, click a column heading for column selection list (_). You can also include:

Utilization. Fraction of total bandwidth capacity used. "N/A" denotes the measurement cannot be calculated because the bandwidth capability is unknown for the current interface.
