3.2.2.5 Traffic Profile Report for Link (SNTG201)


INTENDED USAGE:

   This chart is used to determine the traffic load variation
   on a link over the course of a day.  It also indicates the
   load due to retransmission of data.

FORMAT:

   This display produces a stacked bar chart of input,
   output, and retransmitted traffic on the link by hour.

DATA SOURCE (File/Timespan):

   SNTNCL01/DAYS

DATA ELEMENTS USED:

   ZONE, HOUR, NCLNRCHR, NCLNRCHS, NCLNRRBY

CALCULATIONS:

   None

USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:

   This inquiry is produced from NPM Network data.  Note that
   the reference point for SENT, RECEIVED, and RETRANS
   (retransmitted data) is the host system, so SENT is
   usually the higher number.  Retransmitted data is caused
   by errors between the sending and receiving nodes.  You
   should investigate a noticeable bar for RETRANS since it
   may indicate a failing network component.  You may review
   the inquiry Percent Temporary Errors to Traffic (SNTG302)
   to determine if the condition is caused by a failing link
   (line).
