Review the High-Traffic Protocols and Hosts

The Top Protocols and Top Hosts views provide quick visual indicators of the most utilized protocol and hosts in your network. You can use the links to drill down to more detailed information about a specific protocol or host.

For example, suppose a protocol has a high volume of traffic. To investigate whether the traffic is correctly routed over the network, you click the protocol name in the graph and drill down to details.

Display Tooltips in the Top Protocols and Top Hosts views by holding your cursor over a name or bar.

• Protocol: Display the protocol name (keyword), encapsulation (transport protocol and port number), and total traffic volume.
• Host: Display the host name, IP address, and volume of inbound, outbound, and total traffic.
