Using the Traffic Monitor
You can view incoming and outgoing traffic for selected network interfaces and
QoS classes using the Traffic Monitor. This enables you to identify network traffic
trends and anomalies, and to fine tune Traffic Shaper QoS class assignments.
The Traffic Monitor displays separate bar charts for incoming traffic and outgoing
traffic, and displays traffic rates in kilobits/second. If desired, you can change the
number of seconds represented by the bars in the charts, using the procedure
Configuring Traffic Monitor Settings on page 195.
In network traffic reports, the traffic is color-coded as described in the table below.
In the All QoS Classes report, the traffic is color-coded by QoS class.
Table 27: Traffic Monitor Color Coding for Networks
Traffic marked in this color… Indicates…
Blue VPN-encrypted traffic
Red Traffic blocked by the firewall
Green Traffic accepted by the firewall
You can export a detailed traffic report for all enabled networks and all defined
QoS classes, using the procedure Exporting General Traffic Reports on page 196.
