Network Planning Best Practices › IP Growth Tracker

IP Growth Tracker

Use the WebCenter IP Growth Tracker to review the growth in IP traffic demand and the distribution of connection durations.

Business Value:

The IP Growth Tracker helps you identify trends and characteristics of your network usage and activity. This information supports the making of informed and timely network planning decisions, for example:

• Provisioning for additional workload
• Balancing workload across available resources to maximize the benefits from your existing infrastructure
• Identifying long-term inconsistencies that can indicate problem situations

Additional Considerations:

The IP Growth Tracker uses column charts to show the growth in IP traffic on a system over a period. The page also shows the distribution of TCP connections by the time over which the connections are active.

You access the IP Growth Tracker page from the WebCenter login dialog (if enabled by the WEBCENTER parameter group) or from Performance Center after you log in.
