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.
