Traffic Performance
The Traffic Performance category groups areas that track the source and destination of traffic. You can
use traffic thresholds and alarms to determine traffic load and flow and to reallocate resources
appropriately.
The following table lists the monitored parameters in this category.
Traffic Performance category parameters TABLE 11
Monitored parameter Description
Receive bandwidth
usage percentage (RX) The percentage of port bandwidth being used by RX traffic. For example, if the port speed
is 10 Gbps and the port receives 5 Gb of data in one second, then the percentage of RX
utilization is 50 percent (5 Gb*100/(10 Gb*1 second)). For a master trunk port, this
indicates the RX percentage for the entire trunk.
Transmit bandwidth
usage percentage (TX) The percentage of port bandwidth being used by TX traffic. For example, if the port speed
is 10 Gbps and the port sends 5 Gb of data in one second, then the percentage of TX
utilization is 50 percent (5 Gb*100/(10 Gb*1 second)). For a master trunk port, this
indicates the TX percentage for the entire trunk.
Utilization (UTIL) The percentage of individual port (or trunk) bandwidth being used at the time of the most
recent poll.
Transmitted frame
count (TX_FCNT) The number of frames transmitted from the flow source.
Received frame count
(RX_FCNT) The number of frames received by the flow destination.
Transmitted throughput
(TX_THPUT) The number of megabytes (MB) transmitted per second by the flow source.
Received throughput
(RX_THPUT) The number of megabytes (MB) received per second by the flow destination.
SCSI frames read
(IO_RD) The number of SCSI I/O read command frames recorded for the flow.
SCSI frames written
(IO_WR) The number of SCSI I/O write command frames recorded for the flow.
SCSI frames read
(IO_RD_BYTES) The number of SCSI I/O bytes read as recorded for the flow.
SCSI frames written
(IO_WR_BYTES) The number of SCSI I/O bytes written as recorded for the flow.
