Traffic Acceleration Service


This chapter describes the Traffic Acceleration service, which returns traffic and application statistics for individual WAEs, device groups, and for the WAAS network.

The Traffic Acceleration service (TrafficStats Web Service) performs one or more of the following actions:

retrieveTrafficStats

getMonitoredApplications

retrieveAppTrafficStats

retrieveCPUUtilization

retrieveConnection

Syntax

Service URL: https://<host/ip>:8443/ws/TrafficStats

WSDL URL: https://<host/ip>:8443/ws/TrafficStats?wsdl

To obtain a description of all the operations and parameters for the TrafficStats service, submit a URL to the service with the suffix ?wsdl as follows:

https://<host/ip>:8443/ws/TrafficStats?wsdl 

To obtain management information using the Central Manager monitoring API, first call the service by using the service URL for this service as follows:

https://<host/ip>:8443/ws/TrafficStats

Next, submit a SOAP request written in XML format to retrieve the information.

The following example shows an XML-formatted SOAP request to perform the retrieveTrafficStats action. The request includes the input parameters for this particular action shown in bold. The next example shows the XML response that contains the output values for this action.
