Top Talkers
Clicking on the Top Talkers link in the navigation tree displays a screen
(
Figure 2-40
) used to set the parameters for and initiate the generation of a list of
IP Addresses ranked in terms of the number of frames and octets they have
transmitted during a specified reporting period. This report allows MIS managers
to determine who is generating the most traffic on a WAN based on IP Addresses.

To generate a Top Talkers report, enter the desired report size in the appropriate

capture IP traffic; typically this value is 900 (15 minutes). As soon as you initiate
generation of the report by pressing the Submit button, the Duration value is

NOTICE:
While you may request any number, the unit is internally limited to a
maximum of 20.
As soon as the specified Duration for the report has elapsed, the screen will
refresh itself and the resulting report-specific information will be displayed in the
outlined box at the bottom of the screen. This report comprises elements as
defined in the following paragraphs.
Report #
This field displays a unique number used to identify the generated report. This
number is generated automatically, is incremented sequentially for each report,
and can be used by management stations for automatic polling (via the
ipadv2.mib).
