NTA Types of Services (ToS)

NTA Types of Services (ToS) report reveals a ranked list of traffic organized by Type of Service (ToS) for the current interval. Some routers use ToS to prioritize traffic flow. For instance, VoIP data may be given a higher ToS than general network use to ensure the timeliness of voice quality over the IP connection.

Note: You can add friendly labels to Code Point Identifiers using the Type of Service Library.

Type of Service. Type of Service (ToS) using differentiated services code point (DSCP) labeling.
Bytes. Combined (incoming/outgoing) number of bytes transferred. (Use Report Settings Sort by option to rank the list by packet or flow count, not bytes.)
Bit Rate. Average bit rate.
Byte Percentage. Service type percentage of the total traffic.

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

DSCP. Differentiated Services Code Point identifier as defined by the IETF in RFC2474.
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.

Note: For this report, Network Traffic Analysis defines ToS as the first 6 bits of a Type of Service (ToS) byte, or the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP).
