24 Logging Data
Viewing Bandwidth Utilization by Packet Type
Select the Packet Types tab to view a breakdown of the packet types collected
from the monitored channel. The packet types are grouped as good (valid) and
bad (invalid) packets. For each packet type, the total number of collected packets
of that type is listed. The percentage of the total packet count for each type is
also listed. See the online help for descriptions of the packet types listed on the
Packet Types tab.
Figure 13 shows the Packet Types tab with example data.
Figure 13. Packet Types Tab
In the figure, all the packets received during the current session have been valid
packets. The protocol analyzer adjusts the packet count and percentage figures
as additional packets are received from the channel. You can control the rate at
which the statistics on the display are updated by setting the general update
interval with the statistics options tabs. See Setting Statistics Options on page
26 for more information.
Viewing Bandwidth Utilization History
Select the BWU History tab to view a trend graph that displays the bandwidth
utilization (by percentage) of the monitored channel. A well-designed network
will not have any peaks in bandwidth utilization that are over 80%.
