Traffic Flow Analyzer
OpenManage Network Manager’s Traffic Flow Analyzer listens on UDP ports for NetFlow, or JFlow
datagrams. A flow is a unidirectional stream of packets between two network nodes. The following
key parameters appear in flows:
Source IP address
Destination IP address
Source port number
Destination port number
Layer 3 protocol type
ToS byte (Type of Service)
Input logical interface
Using that data, Traffic Flow Analyzer can help you visualize network traffic, troubleshoot and
anticipate bottlenecks.
