Addendum: Accessing Traffic Charts
Viewing Traffic on a Link
There are many ways to access traffic charts. To view the traffic on a particular link, you can right-click on the link in the Map window and choose an option from the Traffic Load submenu.
 | Note: For MPLS-enabled networks, there is a very similar Tunnel Traffic menu in Layer 2. The descriptions are identical to those of Demand Traffic; simply replace “Demand” with “Tunnel” in the table below. |
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Demand Traffic on Link | Brings up chart of Demand Traffic load on this link (takes into account all demands routed on this link) |
Demand Traffic Load by CoS* (Router only) | Brings up Demand Traffic load chart that partitions the traffic by Class of Service (CoS) for viewing. *The CoS feature requires a license. |
Demand Traffic Load/BW Ratio | Brings up the Load/BW Ratio Charts that shows Demand Traffic load over Link BW. |
Measured Interface Traffic | Brings up Interface Traffic Load chart for this link. |
Interface vs Demand | Brings up chart that compares Interface and Demand Traffic loads on this link. |
Alternatively, you can open the Links window by selecting Network > Elements > Links. Right-click a given link. From the popup menu you can then select Traffic Chart > Measured Interface Traffic or Demand Traffic Load by CoS if you have a router network and appropriate license. Otherwise, you can select the Demand Traffic on Link chart.
Viewing Traffic on a Demand
To view the traffic on a demand, select Network > Elements > Demands. Select the Demands you wish to view. Right-click and select either Show Traffic Load or End to End Delay.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Show Traffic Load for Single Demand | Shows the traffic load chart for the selected demand in the Demands window. |
Show Traffic Load for All Demands | Shows the sum of the traffic load for all demands for each period. |
E2E Delay for Single Demand | Shows the computed end-to-end delay for the selected demand in the Demands window. |
E2E Delay for All Demands | Shows the average end-to-end delay for all demands for each period. |
