Top N Connections Report

Top N Connections
Report
This report calculates the top N connections by total octets sent and
received over the report period.
A connection can be one of the following:
■
A single conversation between two devices
■
The total of multiple conversations between a device and a group
■
The total of multiple conversations between two groups
You can limit the report to consider only connections between groups or
devices at specified levels in the grouping, and also where each end of
the connection must be within a specified parent group. Specify a
high-level connection between two groups and the report tells you about
the most active sub-connections it contains. For example, if you select
U.S. to U.K. as your high-level connection in a geographical grouping,
and select “City level” to report on, the report tells you the top city to city
connections contained within the U.S. to U.K. connection.
There are lots of ways to use the top N connections report. Use the
Level
options to specify how the connections should be broken down at each
end. Typically, you may want the connection to be broken down at the
same level at each end.
If you are interested in the top N connections between actual devices,
choose one of the following options:
■
If the grouping used is one that collapses redundant groups (for
example, DNS), select the
Lowest
level at each end of the connection.
See
“Groupings”
on
page 42
for more information.
■
If the grouping used does not collapse redundant groups (for
example, Type and Network), select
Device
level to display the
connections between devices.
Choose a different level to aggregate the connections between many
different devices.
The following are examples of reports on geographical groupings:
■
“From
US
at
City
level to
UK
at
City
level” tells you the busiest city to
city connection between the U.S. and U.K., such as Boston to London
or New York to Edinburgh.
