The Top Protocols (Bar) views show the top 10 highest-volume IP protocols for traffic on a particular interface. A bar chart shows which protocols account for the most traffic on the selected interface.
This view gives you an overall picture of how much data is associated with particular protocols--and, therefore, with applications--on the interface. The view also lets you determine whether the application protocols are related to business-critical processes, or are related to low-priority or non-business related processes such as unauthorized web use.
You can view protocol traffic for incoming flows, outgoing flows, or all flows--as shown in the example graphic.

The view includes a bar for each high-volume protocol on the selected interface. A text string near the top of the view identifies the interface whose data is displayed. The bar chart includes the following information:
Identifies the protocol by its keyword (Y-Axis).
Measures the total amount of data that was associated with the protocol (for example, in number of megabytes) (X-Axis).
By default, views and reports show the most recent 24 hours of data.
To see a Top Protocols (Bar) view in CA Performance Center, add it to a custom dashboard.
