Viewing Application Statistics

The Applications page provides table and pie chart views of applications. It answers the following questions:

n	What percentage of total LAN traffic does each application comprise?

n	What is the data reduction in each direction?

n	When comparing outbound and inbound traffic, how are the application distributions different?

n	What is the ratio of LAN-to-WAN or WAN-to-LAN traffic for any given application?

Table View

For each direction of traffic — inbound and outbound — the overlapping bars are paired to show the full volume of traffic and the reduced, optimized size of the same traffic.

Pie View

What’s the difference between other and unassigned in the Applications stats pie chart?

n	The pie chart shows the top ten applications and, possibly, other.

n	unassigned means the sum of traffic (bytes) for which the appliance could not determine the application.

n	other means the sum of traffic other than the top nine.

n	If you don’t have more than ten applications, you won’t see other.
