At the data center, the CA Standard Monitor uses separate monitor feeds to monitor both optimized and unoptimized traffic:
Receives WAN-optimized packets from the data center and computes response time metrics for the WAN segment of each observed application, server, and network combination.
Receives unoptimized packets from the server switch and computes response time metrics for the Server segment of each observed application, server, and network combination. CA Application Delivery Analysis must monitor the unoptimized server traffic to report the Server network segment.
A separate Monitor NIC is required to monitor Steelhead-optimized WAN traffic and the unoptimized server traffic.
The management console automatically reports on new application traffic that matches the client networks and server subnets that are defined on the management console.
To report the response time of WAN-optimized applications at a branch location, a CA Standard Monitor is required at that branch location. The Riverbed Client Segment monitor feed receives unoptimized traffic between the client computers and the branch Steelhead appliance, and computes response time metrics for the Client segment. If a monitoring device is not deployed to a branch location, CA Application Delivery Analysis can still provide insight into WAN performance.
