Click Monitor > System Status > Traffic Statistics to display the Traffic

Statistics screen. This screen provides basic information about the following for example:

•Most-visited Web sites and the number of times each one was visited. This count may not be accurate in some cases because the ZyWALL counts HTTP GET packets. Please see Table 29 on page 184 for more information.

•Most-used protocols or service ports and the amount of traffic on each one

•LAN IP with heaviest traffic and how much traffic has been sent to and from each one
