The Real Time Charts > Protocol Monitor page displays real-time charts showing ingress and egress traffic rates for the following protocols:
IPv4 Rate | Internet Protocol version 4 |
ARP Rate | Address Resolution Protocol, used by IPv4 to map IP network addresses to link layer hardware addresses |
IPv6 Rate | Internet Protocol version 6 |
UDP Rate | User Datagram Protocol, a connection-less protocol used for example by DNS, SNMP, RIP, DHCP |
TCP Rate | Transmission Control Protocol, a connection oriented protocol allowing bidirectional traffic once the connection is established, used for example by FTP, SSH, Telnet, and also by DNS |
ICMP Rate | Internet Control Message Protocol, used by network devices to send error messages and operational information; ping uses ICMP to send echo request packets to a host |
IGMP Rate | Internet Group Management Protocol, used by hosts and routers to establish multicast group memberships |
The seven real-time charts displayed on the Protocol Monitor page are shown in the images below. The Ingres rate is displayed on the top half of each chart, and the Egress rate is displayed on the bottom.
A chart may be empty or blank if there are no recent data entries received within the viewing range.
