Traffic Totals
Traffic Totals report reveals incoming and outgoing traffic and bandwidth totals for the selected interval.
- . Incoming or Outgoing.
- . Metrics that include only the 95th percentile. Top 5% inbound and outbound peaks are clipped and discarded.
- . Peak value.
- . Combined (incoming/outgoing) number of bytes transferred. (Use Report Settings
option to rank the list by packet or flow count, not bytes.) - . Total average bit rate.
- . Percentage of total bandwidth.
To display Flow and Packet measurements, click a column heading (
) for column selection list (
). You can also include:
- . Fraction of total bandwidth capacity used. "N/A" denotes the measurement cannot be calculated because the bandwidth capability is unknown for the current interface.

Switch between minimum or maximum mode for cutoff values for the ranked list.
- At or Over. Show peak occurrence period. (Observations equal to or greater than Threshold.)
- At or Under. Show occurrences equal to or less than Threshold.
|
Threshold (percent)
|
Baseline value used to trim ranked device list based on peak or subpeak periods when returning the Top n.

- Gauge charts. Available when you select a Date Range of .
- Time series. Available when you select a Date Range interval (, for example).
- Line/Area. Scatter graph that connects adjacent measurements with straight lines.
- Spline/Area Spline. Choose a graph with a smoothed appearance where adjacent samples exhibit a gradual slope.

Chart Options
|
- Legend, Grid Lines, Range Selector. Include legend, grid lines, and range selector for readability.
- Trend Lines. Present data with a smoothed average to show trend.
- Vertical Axis Scale. Automatically scale to fit data or specify a finite range.
