will be lost.

Command History
Release 17.1
Functional Notes
Data used in the Top Talkers collection can be collected by monitoring the number of packets sent or
received or the number of bytes sent or received in a specified amount of time. Collection by byte count
and packet count are mutually exclusive and must be configured by the user. Yet each can be helpful
depending on specific network needs. Using packet counts to monitor hosts can make it easier to identify
the source of problems in cases where a host is infected by a virus, or attacking the network with a port
scan. Using byte counts can display overall bandwidth consumption on a host-by-host basis.
Usage Examples
The following example specifies packet statistics for collection:
(config)#ip flow top-talkers
(config-top-talkers)#sort-by packets
60000CRG0-35E
Specifies packet statistics are monitored for Top Talkers collection.
Specifies byte statistics are monitored for Top Talkers collection.
