971.0. "utilization reports" by JETSAM::WOODCOCK () Tue Apr 30 1991 17:46

Hello,

I have just used the REPORTS package and have noticed that all the 
utilization option outputs do not state whether the info is INBOUND or
OUTBOUND or a combination of BOTH. In comparing the data to NMCC, 
option 11 appeared to be OUTBOUND. Is this the case? The PA doc also
didn't shed any light on this.

thanks for any info,
brad...

971.1Combination of bothTOOK::ANWARUDDINAnwarWed May 01 1991 10:562
My understanding is that it is a combination of both. Is this a
problem?
971.2Yes...ProblemJETSAM::WOODCOCKWed May 01 1991 11:2421

This is a definite problem from my perspective. What kind of combination
is it (an average of the IN and OUT for each point or the highest of
either IN or OUT for each point)? This should be documented if it is not
changed in the future so the user knows what he/she is getting.

Utilization figures are typically used as WARNING signs to the user that
it might be time to upgrade the circuit before performance is impacted. If
a circuit has an IN average of 20% and an OUT average of 100% then MCC
will report (if using an averaging formula) 60%. This circuit is already
in DEEP trouble causing this user severe performance problems yet they can't
see it using REPORTS. Credibility is on the line here. MCC should change
this for V1.2 or sooner if it uses the averaging method!!!

A seperate line for both INBOUND **AND** OUTBOUND should be plotted.

best regards,
brad...
971.3Will generate both INBOUND & OUTBOUND graphsTOOK::ANWARUDDINAnwarFri Jun 28 1991 17:194
re .2

We will change the Circuit utilization graphical report to show both INBOUND 
and OUTBOUND utilization graphs instead of the one currently produced.
