Top Sender TLDs report reveals top level domains (the last portion of an Internet domain name, such as .com, .edu, or .us) to which traffic is routed for the selected interval. The traffic displayed for each TLD is the sum of the traffic sent by each device on that TLD.

Understand column data

The default view of each report contains a grid with the following columns:

Note: This report only returns Network Traffic Analysis metrics for devices configured as Network Traffic Analysis sources. By default, the report displays a stacked area chart to illustrate the top sender TLDs. Below the chart, the report displays the following column information by default.
  • TLD. Displays an icon and the extension that represents the top level domain.
  • Type. Definition of the extension that is used to represent the top level domain.
    • Bytes. Number of bytes transmitted. Use Report Settings

      to sort by packet or flow count, or bytes.
  • Bit Rate. Average bit rate, in bits per second (bps).
  • Percentage. Percentage of the total traffic.

To display Flow and Packet measurements, click a column heading ( ) for column selection list ( ). You can also include:

    • Utilization. Fraction of total bandwidth capacity used. "N/A" denotes the measurement cannot be calculated because the bandwidth capability is unknown for the current interface.
