Network Traffic

The Traffic Monitor presents real-time information about the status of your
network. You can set thresholds for five important measures, which when
exceeded trigger an event that appears in the Alert Log. Use the Top5 View to
determine who the Top Talkers are in a segment.

Network Growth

The HP Network Performance Advisor
tation tool that provides you with information about the entire network. The
Advisor performs automatic traffic analysis and displays the results in easy-
to-understand tables and charts. The reports created by the Advisor make
useful recommendations on how to improve network performance. The
Advisor also provides inventory information for each segment in the network.
The analysis and data provided by the Advisor assist the system administrator
in making a sound business case for changes to the network.
The Network Performance Advisor creates reports that make recommenda-
tions about reducing utilization on the network segments to increase network
performance. It provides proactive analysis of a network, in contrast to the
real-time, reactive analysis provided by Traffic Monitor.
