Dynamic Real-Time Reporting (RTR)
One of the things that has always differentiated the NetEqualizer from other monitoring and
shaping tools is that
we have the actual data for every user accurately updated by the
second
. Thus, we are able to make shaping decisions based on usage every second. This
sets us apart from other network tools that report on traffic.
The reporting tools on most other devices tend to slog along and show you aggregate usage
of five (5) minute averages. Even the charge back mechanisms that Internet providers use
to figure out if you are over your allotted bandwidth do 95th percentile sampling, meaning
they estimate your usage from sporadic sampling.
One thing we have not focused on, until now, is making this wealth of data available to our
customers in a nice, organized, usable format. With the advent of our 64-bit release (7.0)
and a more robust Apache web server, we are now able to display this data in real-time.
As of
software update 8.1
, we have enhanced our real-time reporting offering to include a
full RTR Menu with a suite of reports, including the RTR Dashboard, Active Connections,
Traffic Reports, the NetEqualizer Log, NetEqualizer Configuration, and Running Processes.
All data is current as of this second when displayed. You can click on Update Data where
appropriate to refresh the data. From the Dashboard,
