Bandwidth Usage report

Bandwidth Throughput Summary report overview

The Bandwidth Throughput Summary report shows bandwidth utilization by specified radio or Ethernet ports configured as a part of the link across the Wavence NEs. The default display is a set of time series graphs for Rx and Tx Throughput and Rx and Tx summary. You can select a link to use as a baseline on the graph, either the same link or a different link from the data set.

The Bandwidth Throughput Summary report at the link level shows the Rx and Tx throughput on a per link basis for the available Ethernet or Radio ports. The corresponding graphs are plotted for Rx and Tx Throughput within the selected single link.

Note: The report tooltip cannot display large numbers of links. If the data displayed in the tooltip extends past the viewable area, refer to the report instead of the tooltip.

Use cases

Capacity planning—Use the report to examine traffic usage and patterns based on the radio or Ethernet traffic in a network and to plan for capacity requirements.

Limitations

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

Prerequisites

The following table describes the aggregation rules that must be enabled and the accounting policies that must be configured for the NEs on which statistics are to be collected; see the NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide for information about configuring an accounting policy. To view the report for granularities other than raw data, the aggregation rules must be enabled; see How do I configure analytics aggregation?.
