Traffic

Select two linked devices to inspect their directional bandwidth, flow ranking and traffic details.

Select the network and period

Select the network at the top of the console and open Insights → Traffic. Choose the period containing the activity to investigate. Use Source site and Destination site to select two devices connected by a link. Both must be selected before querying; the destination selector lists devices linked to the source. All charts, rankings and details concern that pair.

The two directions are separate. Check both when investigating a download, upload, or a device serving other devices.

Locate the traffic

1. Read the bandwidth trend to find when activity increased.
2. Use the traffic ranking to identify the busiest flows between the selected devices. Entries distinguish source and destination IP, port and protocol.
3. Compare the two directions and inspect flow details. Select a chart interval to inspect a shorter period.
4. Compare that period with Quality if the workload became slow, or Logs if a configuration change may explain it.

The time shown on the page indicates the data available for the query. Traffic reports may arrive after the activity occurs.

Check charges separately

Traffic includes network activity and does not by itself establish a charge. Only successfully forwarded Global Dedicated Transmission traffic is metered. Use Account → Billing for charged usage and amounts; see Pricing.
