About the Flow Monitor: Top Sender TLD report
This dashboard report displays the top level domains (the last portion of an Internet domain name, such as .com, .edu, or .us) whose devices are generating traffic that is routed over the selected interface in the selected direction (Inbound, Outbound, Inbound and Outbound, or Bounce). The traffic displayed for each TLD is the sum of the traffic generated by each device on that TLD.
In most cases, the TLD for a device is the same as the country that is listed in the Top Sender and Receiver Countries dashboard reports. However, in the case of the TLD, the country is where the domain name was obtained, and not necessarily where the host is located.
Sender TLD traffic is reported by type in bytes and as a percentage of the top x results from the current interface for the selected time period.
: You can hover over information in the column to display popup information with average data speed as a percentage of the total interface capacity.

About interface traffic directions
: For illustration purposes, the descriptions and diagrams in the table below assume that traffic is passing from an internal interface to an external interface or vice versa. In reality, traffic may pass from an internal interface to another internal interface, an external interface to another external interface, or traffic may be routed out the same interface it enters.
