Key Format

The important keys in the network representing various types of aggregate metrics are

Key stringDescription
TOTALBWTotal bandwidth
DIR_INTOHOME, DIR_OUTOFHOME, DIR_TRANSIT, DIR_WITHINHOMETraffic relative to the home network as defined in Home Networks These represent traffic entering the home network , exiting the home network, totally outside the home network and within the home network.

Using the meters.

For the key you selected one or more of the following metrics will be available. For example if you query for key TOTALBW the metric Total will represent the total bandwidth of the network as seen by Trisul. If you query for DIR_INTO_HOME the metric TOtal will represen the total bandwidth downloaded into your network.

Total

Total bandwidth observed by Trisul. In Bytes/sec you can multiply by 8 to get bits/sec.

Packets

Total packets observed by Trisul. In packets/sec.

Active Sessions

Active sessions. Also can use Meta Session Group > Master Size

Layer 2 Broadcast

The L2 Broadcast bandwidth. When the destination MAC is the broadcast MAC address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF

Layer 2 Multicast

The L2 multicast bandwidth. When the destination MAC is the multicast MAC address prefix 01:00:5E:xx:xx:xx

Layer 2 Unicast

The L2 Unicast.

Layer 3 Broadcast
