Top N Utility Overview
The Top N utility allows you to collect and analyze data for each physical port on a router. When the Top
N utility starts, it obtains statistics from the appropriate hardware counters and then goes into sleep mode
for a user-specified interval. When the interval ends, the utility obtains the current statistics from the
same hardware counters, compares the current statistics from the earlier statistics, and stores the
difference. The statistics for each port are sorted by one of the statistic types that are listed in
