AP 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
access point managed network, refer
to Application
Policy on page 7-54 and Application on page 7-
-
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, and select one of its connected access points.
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 access point managed network. These are only
the administrator allowed applications approved for
proliferation within the access point managed
network. |
Bytes
Uploaded |
Displays the top ten
applications in respect to total data bytes uploaded
through the access point 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 access point 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 access
point managed network. |
Uploaded |
Displays the number of
uploaded application data (in bytes) passing the through
the access point managed network. |
Downloaded |
Displays the number of
downloaded application data (in bytes) passing the
through the access point managed network. |
Num
Flows |
Lists the total number of
application data flows passing through the access point
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
Policy on page 7-54 and Application on page 7-
The screen displays.
Refer to the
Top Categories graph
to assess the most prolific, and allowed, application data categories
utilized by the access point.
Total
Bytes |
Displays the top ten
application categories in respect to total data bytes
passing through the access point managed network. These
are only the administrator allowed application
categories approved for proliferation within the access
point managed network. |
Bytes
Uploaded |
Displays the top ten
application categories in respect to total data bytes
uploaded through the access point 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 access point 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
access point managed network. |
Uploaded |
Displays the number of
uploaded application category data (in bytes) passing
the through the access point managed network. |
Downloaded |
Displays the number of
downloaded application category data (in bytes) passing
the through the access point managed network. |
Num
Flows |
Lists the total number of
application category data flows passing through access
point connected clients. 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.
