Traffic Top N

Function

The ATIC management center collects statistics on Incoming Traffic, Outgoing Traffic, or Attack Traffic in the specified interval and ranks the top N traffic. From the top N statistics, you can view the top N Zones or IP addresses with the largest volumes of inbound or attack traffic.

NOTE:
Traffic top N cannot be queried in real time. You can query traffic top N of at most an hour ago.

  • IP Traffic Top N

    Ranks traffic by destination IP address. When traffic anomalies occur, you can view IP Traffic Top N to learn about the IP addresses with the largest volumes of inbound, outbound, or attack traffic.

  • Zone Traffic Top N

    Ranks traffic by Zone. When traffic anomalies occur, you can view Zone Traffic Top N to learn about the Zones with the largest volumes of inbound, outbound, or attack traffic.

  • Total-Cleaning:

    Indicates that traffic on all cleaning devices is queried.

  • Total-Detecting:

    • If two or more detecting devices in a defense group work in Load Redundancy mode, the maximum traffic volume in the defense group is queried and the sum of traffic volumes among defense groups is queried.
    • If two or more detecting devices in each defense group work in Load Balancing mode, the sum of traffic volumes within each defense group and among defense groups is queried.
Protocol Select the protocol type to be queried.
Time Click to select the start time and end time of statistics. Or you can change the time values in corresponding text boxes.

The end time should be later than the start time and the interval cannot be longer than one year.
