Flow Monitor: Top Senders with Most Conversation Partners
This dashboard report displays the senders with the most conversation partners in the
selected direction (Inbound, Outbound, Inbound and Outbound, or Bounce) on the selected
interface. A conversation is a connection between two devices that are transmitting
information to one another over a single port. Conversation partner data is useful in
determining the devices on and off the network that are sending the most information to
other devices and/or Web sites. Also, a device with too many conversation partners could be
using unauthorized peer-to-peer applications.
By default, devices are listed by hostname, however you can configure this report to list the
devices by IP address by selecting Display IP Address instead of Hostname on the report
configuration dialog.
Sender. Displays the host name of the top sender with the most conversation
partners.
Number of Partners. Displays the number of conversation partners with which the
sender has connected.
Percent of Top n. Displays the percentage ranking of the item within the top n items
of the category.
Tip: You can hover over a host name to display popup information about the host name's IP
address. If you right-click on the host-name, a filter will be created that uses the host as the
filter criteria and the Interface Details dashboard will reload with this filter applied.
