Top N Details (Top Talkers) Screen

Clicking on the Top Talkers link in the navigation tree displays the Top N
Details screen (Figure 3.33), which is used to set parameters for and initiate
the generation of a list of IP addresses ranked in terms of the number of
frames and octets they have transmitted during a specified reporting period.
(The “N” in “Top N Details” represents the variable number of Top Talkers
that will be reported.) This report allows MIS managers to determine who is
generating the most traffic on a WAN based on IP addresses.
