Types of Services report reveals a ranked list of traffic organized by Type of Service (ToS) for the current interval. Some routers use ToS to prioritize traffic flow.

Note: You can add friendly labels to Code Point Identifiers using the Type of Service Library.

Understand column data

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

  • Type of Service. Type of Service (ToS) using differentiated services code point (DSCP) labeling.
    • Bytes. Combined (incoming/outgoing) number of bytes transferred. (Use Report Settings

      Sort by option to rank the list by packet or flow count, not bytes.)
  • Bit Rate. Average bit rate.
  • Byte Percentage. Service type percentage of the total traffic.

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

  • DSCP. Differentiated Services Code Point identifier as defined by the IETF in RFC2474.
    • 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.
Note: For this report, Network Traffic Analysis defines ToS as the first 6 bits of a Type of Service (ToS) byte, or the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP).
