When you choose Live Statistics➤Traffic Matrix Table…, NetMetrix
displays a table of statistics. Information from each selected data source
is shown in its own table. Figure 99 on page 473 shows a sample Traffic
Matrix table.
For each conversation seen by the data source, the table contains the fol-
lowing information.
The statistics shown are the current values for the counters in the data
source’s RMON Matrix table. Note that the Matrix table values are reset
if the agent is restarted, and that these values are stored as 32-bit
variables, which are subject to wrap-around if the values get too large.
The Traffic Matrix table shows the interface number on which the data
source gathered the information. If you selected a data source whose
agent has multiple interfaces, statistics are shown for each available
interface (even though the data source is configured to use a particular
interface).
Traffic Matrix determines the IP address or vendor name by using the
NetMetrix addrmap facility to translate the MAC address.
The Traffic Matrix application displays an error message if any selected
data source is unreachable.
