About Report Graphs

168

The Network - Connection History report contains the following table of statistics that summarize connection activity.

Packet Type	Description
Optimized Connections	Specifies the total active connections optimized.
Flowing Connections	Specifies the total established active connections.
Half Opened	Specifies the total half-opened active connections. A half-
	opened connection is a TCP connection in which the
	connection has not been fully established. Half-opened
	connections count toward the connection count limit on the
	HP EFS WAN Accelerator because, at any time, they might
	become a fully-opened connection.
	If you are experiencing a large number of half-opened
	connections, you might consider a more appropriately sized
	HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
Half Closed	Specifies the total half-closed active connections. Half-
	closed connections are connections which the HP EFS WAN
	Accelerator has intercepted and optimized but are in the
	process of becoming inactive. These connections are
	counted toward the connection count limit on the HP EFS
	WAN Accelerator. (Half closed connections might remain if
	the client or server does not close their connections cleanly.)
	If you are experiencing a large number of half-closed
	connections, you might consider a more appropriately sized
	HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
Active Optimized	Specifies the total number of optimized connections with
	traffic in the last 60 seconds.
Pass-Through	Specifies the total connections passed through, unoptimized,
	when the connection limit has been reached.

The Network - Connection History report answers the following questions:

‹How many connections were optimized?

‹How many connections were passed through, unoptimized?

‹How many connections were half-opened?

‹How many connections were half-closed?

In bar-graph and line-graph reports, the x-axis (or tick mark) plots time, according to the interval you select. The y-axis plots the metric of interest, such as gigabytes (GB) of bandwidth, percent (%) of data reduction, connection counts, and the like.

A diamond icon above the top margin of the graph points to the value on the x-axis (the time) at which the peak occurred.

A diamond icon outside the right margin of the graph points to the value on the y-axis (for example, the percent) that is the average value for the time period selected.

Pie chart graphs do not indicate peaks or averages. Pie chart graphs represent the aggregate for the time period selected.
