2420.0. "ProbeWatch percentage utilization" by DRAC::DSMAIL () Fri Jun 23 1995 07:40

    
    Hi,
    
    I have a question using ProbeWatch.
    In the Taffic Monitor Window there are two concepts under View pull
    down menu that makes me confusion.
    If I pull down the Vital Signs  the percentage of utilization is
    very low (less than 1%) and the purple Multicast percentage is very
    high (54 %), these values remain steady for a long time, but if I
    pull down the Packet Destination it shows me the values of Unicast
    very high (14 pps) and the Multicast very low (5 pps).
    Do I have to assume that Multicast utilization is very high and it uses
    larger packets than Unicast ?
    Can I assure that the total percentage of utilization is the amount
    of the Vital Signs values ?
    
    Two more things.
    - Why not a ProbeWatch/PacketProbe specific Notesfile?
    - Why not a product accurate Documentation ?
    
    Thanks in advance
