used, and minimum, average, and maximum response times for the following:
• Application Response Time
• Data Transfer Time
• Retransmit Time
• Round Trip Time

Field Description
Client Site Name of the client site
Server Site Name of the server site
Data Source Name of the data source.
VLAN VLAN
Server Name or IP address of the server

Minimum Client Network
Time (ms)
Minimum network time between a client and the NAM switch or router.
Average Client Network

Average network time between a client and the NAM switch or router.
Maximum Client Network
Time (ms)
Maximum network time between a client and the NAM switch or router.
Minimum Server Network
Time (ms)
Minimum network time between a server and NAM probing point.
Average Server Network
Time (ms)

Maximum Server Network
Time (ms)
Maximum network time between a server and NAM probing point.
Minimum Transaction Time
(ms)
The total amount of time between the client request and the final response
packet from the server.
Average Transaction Time
(ms)
Average time (ms) elapsed from the start of a client request to the
completion of server response. Transaction times might vary significantly
depending upon application types. Relative thresholds are useful in this
situation.
Transaction time is a key indicator when detecting application performance
anomalies.
Maximum Transaction
