This window allows you to monitor application and protocol traffic using
Network-based application recognition (NBAR), a protocol and application
discovery feature. NBAR is used to classify packets for more efficient handling of
network traffic through a specific interface.
If the router Cisco IOS image does not support NBAR, this status window will not
be available.
