10 Highest Mb/s Graph

The first link summary graph shows the ten channels in the link that are using the largest amounts of bandwidth. When you click a bar in the graph, the VPI and VCI are shown under the graph and the channel is highlighted in the channel summary. When you double-click the graph to enlarge it, the analyzer displays the following information:

mean sample bandwidth

maximum sample bandwidth

long term average bandwidth

These measurements are updated at the end of the update period (as set on the Set Measurement Period window). The top ten channels might change at the end of an update period.

You can go to Channel Monitor from the enlarged graph by clicking a bar in the graph to select a channel; then clicking the Monitor Channel button.

AAL Usage Graph

The second link summary graph shows what percentage of the traffic is made up of each AAL type. This is based on the mean sample bandwidths of all channels in the link. When you double-click the graph to enlarge it, you get detailed information about each AAL type, including the usage ratio and bandwidths.

The detailed AAL Usage graph shows the

percentage of bandwidth used by each AAL type

amount of bandwidth (in Mb/s) used by each AAL type

Null refers to channels of unknown AAL type.
