Unclassified Traffic

Unclassified Traffic report reveals IP network traffic that uses ports outside of the well-known port range or has not otherwise been identified for the selected interval. Network Traffic Analysis considers traffic unclassified if both source and destination ports cannot be identified or are outside the IETF well-known range.

Each log message record contains the following data columns:

Date. Date and time for the event message.
Sender IP. IP address of the source device.
Sender Port. Source device port number on which the traffic is flowing.
Receiver IP. IP address of the destination device.
Receiver Port. Destination device port number on which the traffic is flowing.
Protocol. Protocol used by the traffic; either TCP, UDP, SCTP, or DCCP.
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. Total average bit rate.

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

Receiver Hostname. Name of the destination device.
Sender Hostname. Name of the origin device.
