Per-site VPN Throughput report

Per-site VPN Throughput report overview

The Per-site VPN Throughput report shows the throughput for L2 and L3 VPNs on a per-site basis.

The report provides a table with a list of sites and displays the source site, destination site, VPN name, L2/L3 name, average and maximum bit rates, and maximum traffic time.

Use cases

Use the report to visualize traffic distribution between different sites in a distributed VPN.

Limitations

Report limitations include:

  • When the report is exported to the PPT file type, the table border may not be fully closed.

  • Minimum and maximum throughput aggregation cannot be compared with the minimum and maximum throughput values generated from raw granularity.
