Application Visibility
RF Domain member devices inspect every byte of each application
header packet allowed to pass through the WiNG managed network. 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
WiNG managed network, refer to Application and Application Group.
To view the application utilization statistics:
-
Select the Statistics menu
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.
-
Select an RF Domain from
the list.
The RF Domain statistics menu displays in
the right-hand side of the screen, with the Health tab selected by
default.
-
Select Application
Visibility from the RF Domain menu.
The screen displays.
Refer to the
Top Applications graph
to assess the most prolific, and allowed, application data passing through
RF Domain member devices.
Total Bytes |
Displays the top ten RF Domain
member utilized applications in respect to total data bytes
passing through the RF Domain member WiNG managed network. These are only the
administrator allowed applications approved for proliferation
within the RF Domain member device. |
Bytes Uploaded |
Displays the top ten RF Domain
member applications in respect to total data bytes uploaded
through the RF Domain member WiNG 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 RF Domain
member applications in respect to total data bytes downloaded
from the RF Domain member WiNG 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 RF Domain member allowed
application name whose data (bytes) are passing through the WiNG managed network. |
Uploaded |
Displays the number of uploaded
application data (in bytes) passing the through the WiNG managed network. |
Downloaded |
Displays the number of downloaded
application data (in bytes) passing the through the WiNG managed network. |
Num Flows |
Lists the total number of
application data flows passing through RF Domain member devices
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. |

Select 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 RF Domain member
devices.
Total Bytes |
Displays the top ten RF Domain
member application categories in respect to total data bytes
passing through the RF Domain member WiNG managed network. These are only the
administrator allowed application categories approved for
proliferation within the RF Domain. |
Bytes Uploaded |
Displays the top ten RF Domain
member application categories in respect to total data bytes
uploaded through the RF Domain member WiNG 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 RF Domain
member application categories in respect to total data bytes
downloaded from the RF Domain member WiNG 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 RF Domain member allowed
category whose application data (in bytes) is passing through
the WiNG managed network. |
Uploaded |
Displays the number of uploaded
application category data (in bytes) passing the through the WiNG managed network. |
Downloaded |
Displays the number of downloaded
application category data (in bytes) passing the through the WiNG managed network. |
Num Flows |
Lists the total number of
application category data flows passing through RF Domain member
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. |
