You can do the following to configure traffic ordering on the Web interface:
• Setting the traffic ordering interval
• Specifying the traffic ordering mode
• Displaying internal interface tr
affic ordering statistics
• Displaying external interface tr
affic ordering statistics
Overview
When multiple packet flows (classified by their source addresses) are received or sent by a device, you
can configure IP traffic ordering on the device to collect statistics of the flows in the inbound/outbound
direction, and then rank the statistics. The network administrator can use the traffic ordering statistics to
analyze the network usage for network management.
You can specify an interface as an external or internal interface to collect traffic statistics:
• An internal interface collects both inbound and outbound traffic statistics, including the following:
î™» Total traffic statistics
î™» Total inbound/outbound traffic statistics
î™» Inbound/outbound TCP packet statistics
î™» Inbound/outbound UDP packet statistics
î™» Inbound/outbound ICMP packet statistics
• An external interface collects only the total inbound traffic statistics.
