IndexA unique index from 1 to N, where N is a fixed limit, and a lower value denotes a lower ratio of good transactions.

IP AddressThe address of this server.

TransactionCountThe number of transactions recorded for this server.

Client TableThis section displays the client information. Column headings are as follows:

IndexA unique index from 1 to N, where N is a fixed limit, and a lower value denotes a higher value of SessionCount.

IP AddressThe address of this client.

TransactionCountThe number of transactions recorded for this client.


Performance Views

This section introduces the Performance views.

Performance views display performance statistics in terms of a set of transmission attributes, e.g., cell rates, frame rates, % error, etc. A typical view is shown in Figure 6. The instantaneous condition of each transmission attribute is recorded in a graph. The statistical information for each attribute is presented in the adjacent table. For more information on a typical performance view, refer to SPECTRUM Views documentation.

Generally, you determine performance at the device level through Performance views accessed from the Device and Application icons. You determine performance at the port/interface level through Performance views accessed from Interface icons.

Packeteer PSRTMApp Performance ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the PSRTMApp Application icon, select Performance. Also from the Icon Subviews menu for the Packeteer device icon, select Performance.

This view provides the following performance statistical information tables:

• Response Time Management Table• Response Time Management Table 2 (Page 32)

Response Time Management TableIndexA unique ID for each entry in this table.

DelayMedianThe median aggregate delay for this class, in milliseconds. Medians are calculated by an approximate method whose error is at most 1/2 of the time interval spanned by the bucket into which the exact median falls.

DelayAvThe average aggregate delay for this class, in milliseconds. Use the average in conjunction with



the median, since averages can be distorted by a few very large samples.

TransAbvDelThreshThe number of network transactions whose aggregate delay was greater than the value of TotalDelayThreshold. Transactions are defined according to TransactionDefinition.

IntvlAbvSrvLvlThrsThe number of intervals over the aggregate delay threshold, defined as those intervals with IntervalServiceLevelThreshold or fewer transactions with aggregate delay less than TotalDelayThreshold.

LastIntAbvSrvLvlThrsThe time at which the last interval ended which failed the service level threshold, in other words, the interval in which IntervalServiceLevelThreshold of the total transactions, or fewer, had total response times less than TotalDelayThreshold. If there was no such interval, then this is set to a zero value.

SrvrDelMedianThe median server delay for this class, in milliseconds. Medians are calculated by an approximate method, whose error is at most 1/2 of the time interval spanned by the bucket into which the exact median falls.

SrvrDelAveThe average server delay for this class, in milliseconds. Use the average in conjunction with the median, since averages can be distorted by a few very large samples.

N/WDelMedianThe median network delay for this class, in milliseconds. Medians are calculated by an approximate method, whose error is at most 1/2 of the time interval spanned by the bucket into which the exact median falls.

N/WDelayAveThe average network delay for this class, in milliseconds. Use the average in conjunction with the median, since averages can be distorted by a few very large samples.

TrnsxnBytsThe total number of bytes on this class involved in transactions, and thus eligible for RTM. Dividing this value by TransactionsTotal provides the average size of a transaction for the class. This variable represents the low-order portion of a 64-bit value.

TBytesHiThe total number of bytes on this class involved in transactions, and thus eligible for RTM. Dividing this value by TransactionsTotal



provides the average size of a transaction for the class. This variable represents the high-order portion of a 64-bit value

RoundTripTimeThe time, in milliseconds, of a network round-trip, per transaction. Dividing this value by TransactionsTotal gives an indication of the effective speed of the network for this class, which includes factors like queueing and retransmissions that may be controllable. This variable represents the low-order portion of a 64-bit value.

RTTime HiThe time, in milliseconds, of a network round-trip, per transaction. Dividing this value by TransactionsTotal gives an indication of the effective speed of the network for this class, which includes factors like queueing and retransmissions that may be controllable.

Configuration Views

This section describes the Configuration views available for models of the Packeteer devices in SPECTRUM.

Configuration views let you see and modify current settings for the modeled device and its interfaces, ports, and applications. The following Configuration views are available for models of Packeteer devices:

• Device Configuration View (Page 34)

Device Configuration ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Device icon, select Configuration.

A typical Device Configuration view is shown in Figure 7. Generally, this view includes a few fields that display device information as well as an Interface Configuration Table that lists interface parameters, some of which can be changed (see SPECTRUM Views). Some Device Configuration views include one or more buttons that provide access to device-specific configuration information. These are described below.

Model Information View

This section provides a brief description of the Model Information views available for models of Packeteer devices in SPECTRUM.

Model Information views provide descriptive and configuration information about SPECTRUM models of individual devices, interfaces, and applications. Figure 8 shows an example of the Model Information view accessed from the Icon Subviews menu for the PacketShaper model’s Device icon. Model Information views are also available for each of the Interface icons in the Interface Device and Interface Device Topology views, and for each of the Application icons in the Application view. Although these views may vary slightly depending on the particular entity being modeled, their basic layout and content are similar for most SPECTRUM management modules. Therefore these views are described in more detail in SPECTRUM Views.
