Threshold Sets a threshold for the graph. Threshold works with the Sort By and

Sort On Field values to determine which entries are displayed. (Sort

properties are discussed on page 293.)

Count limits the number of entries in the graph to the value speciﬁed,

based on the Sort By and Sort Field properties. For example, if Sort On

Field is Octets, Sort By is Descending Cum, and Threshold is set to

Count 25, the graph shows the largest 25 octet entries; if Sort By is

changed to Ascending Cum, the graph shows the smallest 25 octet

entries.

Value limits the entries in the graph to those whose data value for the

Sort On Field exceeds the value speciﬁed. For example, if the Sort On

Field is Octets, a threshold of Value 123000 shows entries of at least

123001 octets.

Percentage restricts the entries in the graph to those that contribute

at least the speciﬁed percentage of the total for the current Sort On

Field. For example, if the Sort On Field is Packets, a threshold of

Percentage 15 shows each entry responsible for at least 15% of the total

packets.

None disables thresholding.

Accumulate

Protocol

Layers

Protocol graph only. Indicates whether to add the protocol statistics

for a higher-level protocol to the statistics for its lower-level protocols.

When toggled off, statistics are added only to the highest layer

protocol’s statistics.

For example, NFS is layered on top of UDP. If Accumulate Protocol

Layers is toggled on, NFS packet counts are added to UDP packet

counts. If the toggle is off, the UDP packet count will not reﬂect the

packet counts for NFS (and other higher level protocols on top of UDP.)

Accumulate Protocol Layers has no effect when Protocol is displayed as

a pie graph.
