IP Traffic Summary

The IP Traffic Summary summarizes your IP network traffic.

From the IP Summary Display, you can access the following IP traffic summaries (when sorted by system). You can also sort the summaries by stacks.

Change Display

You can choose to sort IP Traffic Summary by system or stack.

To sort the display by system, enter SYS beside IP Traffic Summary.

To sort the display by stack, enter STK beside IP Traffic Summary.

Note: To apply a sort order as the default, you can enter it in your profile by entering PROFILE at the Primary Menu.

IP Throughput

IP Throughput summarizes the TCP/IP throughput for the specified system. The summary shows the total number of stacks and interfaces for that system. It also shows the packet and byte rates, and the number of connections for the system.

Example: IP Traffic for Monitored Stacks and Interfaces

The following example shows an expanded display.

The screen capture shows throughput information by stack interfaces.

The displayed percentages have the following meanings:

Interface Traffic Statistics

Entering S next to an interface displays the IP traffic statistics for the interface. The panel also includes the relative traffic for the applications that used the interface. This information enables you to see which applications are making the most use of the interface.

Example: Interface Traffic by Applications

The following example shows the distribution of traffic on an interface by applications:

The screen capture shows the relative distribution of application traffic on an interface.

Application Traffic Statistics

Applications

Applications summarizes the IP usage by business applications for the specified system. The summary shows the busiest application for that system, the packet and byte rates, and connections for the busiest application as a percentage of the total for the system.

Example: IP Traffic for Defined Business Applications

This example shows a partially expanded display. The display lists the defined business applications that have IP traffic on the system.

The screen capture shows throughput information by applications.

During Express Setup, you can request that business applications be defined for the discovered address spaces. You can also define applications manually through the Maintain Application Name Definitions menu option. The shortcut is /IPAPPLS.

Note: For more information about business applications, see the Implementation Guide.

Application Traffic Statistics

Entering S next to an application displays the Application Traffic Statistics panel. The panel displays the IP traffic statistics for the business application. It also includes the relative traffic over the interfaces used by the application, enabling you to see of which interfaces the application is making the most use.

Example: Application Traffic by Interfaces

The following example shows the traffic distribution of an application over two OSAs:

The screen capture shows the interface traffic distribution of an application.

TCP Server Port

TCP Server Port summarizes the statistics of TCP server ports for the specified system. The summary shows the busiest port for that system, the packet and byte rates, and connections for the busiest port as a percentage of the total for the system.

Example: IP Traffic for TCP Server Ports

The following example shows a partially expanded display.

The screen capture shows throughput information by TCP server ports.

Home Address

Home Address summarizes the statistics of monitored home addresses for the specified system. The summary shows the busiest home address for that system, the packet and byte rates, and connections for the busiest home address as a percentage of the total for the system.

Example: IP Traffic for Home Addresses of Monitored Stacks

The following example shows a partially expanded display.

The screen capture shows throughput information by home addresses and stacks.

Remote Network

Remote Network summarizes the statistics of the remote networks that are communicating with the specified system. The summary shows the busiest remote network for that system, the packet and byte rates, and connections for the busiest remote network as a percentage of the total for the system.

Example: IP Traffic for Remote Networks Seen by Monitored Stacks

The following example shows a partially expanded display.

The screen capture shows throughput information by remote network addresses and monitored stacks.

Remote IP Address Lists

The list enables you to identify remote IP addresses that have sent packets to or received packets from a mainframe stack since the Packet Analyzer was last started.

You can sort a list of remote addresses. For a remote address, you can view any available traffic statistics. You can also look up the host name of an address.

The following action is available in Remote Network:

RI

Lists the busiest addresses in a remote network for the past 5 minutes.

Example: Busiest Remote Addresses

You enter RI next to the 192.168.* remote network and list the busiest remote IP addresses.

The screen capture shows the RI action next to a remote network.

The screen capture lists the busiest remote IP addresses for a remote network.

IP Protocol

IP Protocol summarizes the throughput by protocol for the specified system. The summary shows which protocols use most of the bandwidth. It shows the bytes in and out for each protocol as a percentage of the total for the system.

Example: IP Traffic for Monitored Stacks by Protocol

The following example shows a partially expanded display.

The screen capture shows throughput information by IP protocols.
