3.2.2.8 Percent Link Utilization (SNTG204)

INTENDED USAGE:

   This graph is used to determine the traffic fluctuation on
   a link over time.  This helps you to determine the need
   for changes to the configuration, such as the addition of
   links or the upgrading of the link speed.

FORMAT:

   This display produces a line graph displaying the
   percentage link utilization by hour for an individual
   boundary link.

DATA SOURCE (File/Timespan):

   SNTNCL01/DAYS

DATA ELEMENTS USED:

   HOUR, NETNAME, NCLPCLBS

CALCULATIONS:

   None

USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:

   This report is produced from NetView Performance Monitor
   (NPM) Network data.  Percent Link Utilization is based on
   the specification of link speed in an NCP generation
   parameter.  If the actual speed of the link is different
   than that specified for the NCP because the value has not
   been updated to reflect a hardware upgrade or because
   modems in use on the link are adjusting the link speed
   dynamically, the percentage displayed on this inquiry will
   be in error.
