Top Talkers Detail

While you are in the process of deploying WAAS devices, you can get data to assist in the WAAS
planning and configuration. For information about setting up WAN traffic, see Adding Data Sources for
New WAAS Device, page 2-33.
When you choose Monitor > WAN Optimization > Top Talkers Detail, you will see the window that
assists you in the pre-deployment process. Use the Interactive Report window to select the traffic you
want to analyze for optimization. It will show you the Top Applications, Top Network Links, Top
Clients, and Top Servers. It will not be available for the NetFlow (NDE) data sources.
Based on the results, you can then configure the WAAS products to optimize your network.
