Flow: Outgoing Interface Traffic
The Outgoing Interface Traffic dashboard report displays the percentage of the total
outbound traffic through an interface, that entered through each of the input interfaces.
Occasionally a misconfiguration can cause a device to receive traffic it has just sent. Flow
Monitor alerts you to this abnormal traffic pattern by displaying a flag next to the interface(s)
where the error is occurring.
Below the chart, a table is provided that includes the number of bytes, packets and flows for
each input interface, as well as the percentage of the total outbound traffic that is coming
into that interface.
Flow: Outgoing Interface Utilization
This Flow Monitor dashboard report displays a graph of the outgoing utilization on selected
interface for the chosen time period.
Outbound interface utilization is graphed by percentage over time.
Tip: If you experience an unusually low interface utilization, this could be because you have
Flow Monitor collecting on a router which is not the network bottleneck. Changing the
interface speed on the Flow Sources dialog will give a more accurate reading of its utilization.
