Top Receiver ASN

Top Receiver ASN report reveals organizations identified by provider ASNs receiving the most traffic for the selected interval.

ASN. Autonomous System Number when supplied by systems using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
Organization. Name associated with the receiver ASN.
Bytes. Number of bytes received. (Use Report Settings Sort by option to rank the list by packet or flow count, not bytes.)
Bit Rate. Average bit rate, in bits per second (bps), for the selected date range.
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.
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.

Tip: To show reports in full screen with most if not all possible columns, click on report options ( ) menu and choose Expand ().

Tip: You can hover over a host name to display popup information about the hostname's IP address. If you click the hostname, a filter is created that uses the IP address of this hostname as the filter criteria and the Interface Details dashboard reloads with this filter applied.

Tip: You can hover over the icon preceding the Receiver's host name to display WHOIS information about the host. This information is gathered using a WHOIS query of the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN).
