Viewing Charts

Charts feature spark lines, as well as selectable (and modifiable) time ranges for any data collected in the last 30 days.

Dynamic charts exist for the following:

n

Bandwidth

n

Reduction

n	Packets per Second

n	Flow Counts

n

Latency

n

Loss

n	Out-of-Order Packets

Charts consist of filters, a main chart display, and a time selection area.

 

 

Bandwidth

The Bandwidth chart answers the following questions:

n	How much has the bandwidth been optimized?

n	At what rate was the data sent and/or received in each time interval?

Reduction

The Reduction chart answers the following questions:

n	How much data is traveling in real-time?

n	How much data was sent and received for each minute in the current hour, the last 60 minutes, or three days ago?

n	What is the ratio of LAN to WAN (or WAN to LAN) traffic at any point in time?

Packets per Second

The Packets per second chart answers the following questions:

n	What is the distribution of data in packets?

n	At what rate was the data sent and received in each time interval?

n	What is the ratio of LAN to WAN traffic at any point in time?

Flow Counts

The Flow Counts chart answers the following questions:

n	How much of my traffic is TCP-based?

n	How much of my TCP traffic is accelerated?

Since CIFS acceleration is a subset of TCP acceleration, that data is incorporated generically in the accelerated TCP flow data.

Latency

The Latency chart answers the following questions:

n	How long does it take my data to get to the other end of the Silver Peak tunnel?

n	What were the peak, average, and minimum time intervals?

Loss

The Loss dynamic chart summarizes, by tunnel, the number of packets lost before and after enabling Forward Error Correction (FEC). It answers the following questions:

n	How many errors were there before and after turning on Forward Error Correction?

n	For any given minute, what was the percent loss?

Out-of-Order Packets

The Out of Order Packets chart summarizes, by tunnel, the number of packets lost before and after enabling Packet Order Correction (POC).

It answers the following questions:

n	How many errors were there before and after turning on Packet Order Correction?

n	For any given minute, what was the percentage of out-of-order packets?
