Controller Application Visibility (AVC)
Controllers and service platforms can inspect every byte of each
application header packet allowed to pass their managed radio devices. When an
application is recognized and classified by the WiNG application recognition engine, administrator defined
actions can be applied to that specific application. For information on
categorizing, filtering and logging the application data allowed to proliferate the
controller or service platform managed network, refer to Application and Application Group.
-
Select the Statistics
tab from the Web UI.
-
Expand the System node on the top,
left-hand side of the screen.
The System node expands to display the RF
Domains created within the managed network.
-
Expand an RF Domain node, select a
controller or service
platform.
The Controller's statistics menu displays
in the right-hand side of the screen, with the Health tab selected by
default.
-
Select Application Visibility (AVC)
from the menu.
The screen displays.
Refer to the
Top
Applications graph to assess the most prolific, and allowed,
application data passing through the controller/access point managed
network.
Total Bytes |
Displays the top ten utilized
applications in respect to total data bytes passing
through the controller or service platform managed
network. These are only the administrator allowed
applications approved for proliferation within the
controller or service platform managed network. |
Bytes Uploaded |
Displays the top ten
applications in respect to total data bytes uploaded
through the controller or service platform managed
network. If this application data is not aligned with
application utilization expectations, consider allowing
or denying additional applications and categories or
adjusting their precedence (priority). |
Bytes Downloaded |
Displays the top ten
applications in respect to total data bytes downloaded
from the controller or service platform managed network.
If this application data is not aligned with application
utilization expectations, consider allowing or denying
additional applications and categories or adjusting
their precedence (priority). |
Refer to the
Application Detailed Stats table to assess specific
application data utilization:
Application Name |
Lists the allowed application
name whose data (bytes) are passing through the
controller or service platform managed network. |
Uploaded |
Displays the number of
uploaded application data (in bytes) passing the through
the controller or service platform managed network.
|
Downloaded |
Displays the number of
downloaded application data (in bytes) passing the
through the controller or service platform managed
network. |
Num Flows |
Lists the total number of
application data flows passing through the controller or
service platform for each listed application. An
application flow can consist of packets in a specific
connection or media stream. Application packets with the
same source address/port and destination address/port
are considered one flow. |
-
Click Clear Application Stats to clear the application
assessment data counters and begin a new assessment. Selecting this option will
not clear category stats, just application stats.
-
Click the Category tab.
Categories are existing
WiNG or user defined application groups (video, streaming,
mobile, audio etc.) that assist administrators in filtering (allowing or
denying) application data. For information on categorizing application data,
refer to
Application and
Application Group.
The screen displays.
Refer to the
Top
Categories graph to assess the most prolific, and allowed,
application data categories utilized by the controller or service
platform.
Total Bytes |
Displays the top ten
application categories in respect to total data bytes
passing through the controller or service platform
managed network. These are only the administrator
allowed application categories approved for
proliferation within the controller or service platform
managed network. |
Bytes Uploaded |
Displays the top ten
application categories in respect to total data bytes
uploaded through the controller or service platform
managed network. If this category data is not aligned
with application utilization expectations, consider
allowing or denying additional categories or adjusting
their precedence (priority). |
Bytes Downloaded |
Displays the top ten
application categories in respect to total data bytes
downloaded from the controller or service platform
managed network. If this category data is not aligned
with application utilization expectations, consider
allowing or denying additional categories and categories
or adjusting their precedence (priority). |
Refer to the
Category Detailed Stats table to assess specific
application category data utilization:
Category Name |
Lists the allowed category
whose application data (in bytes) is passing through the
controller or service platform managed network. |
Uploaded |
Displays the number of
uploaded application category data (in bytes) passing
the through the controller or service platform managed
network. |
Downloaded |
Displays the number of
downloaded application category data (in bytes) passing
the through the controller or service platform managed
network. |
Num Flows |
Lists the total number of
application category data flows passing through
controller or service platform managed devices. A
category flow can consist of packets in a specific
connection or media stream. Packets with the same source
address/port and destination address/port are considered
one flow. |
