Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Crosswork Cloud Traffic Analysis

Software Reliability

New Feature

CCTA-10786

Enhancements to the Crosswork Cloud Traffic Analysis traffic recommendations tool improves the ability to balance external link traffic and allow more flexibility in target traffic rates.

Previously, the Traffic Recommendation tool was limited to producing a list of prefixes used for mitigating congested egress link traffic set at over 80% utilization. You can now:

● Choose between Ingress traffic and Egress traffic for specifically tailored prefix move recommendations (Traffic Analysis > Recommendations > Prefix).

● Specify target recommendation thresholds, from 0% to 100%, for tailored link utilization suggestions. As you choose different link utilization percentages, the list of suggested prefix moves will vary based on the target percentage and the Timeframe you choose for analyzing the data.

● Focus on a specific external Interface and specify the target recommendation threshold to set the maximum utilization of a particular link (Traffic Analysis > Recommendations > Interface).
