Flow path and metrics

Want to summarize with AI?

Log in

Describes how to view and interpret the bidirectional flow path table with hop-by-hop metrics, including flow state, direction, packet loss, jitter, latency, and traffic statistics for releases before a specified version.


This section applies to releases before Cisco vManage Release 20.6.1 .

In the Flow Path and Metrics section, view bidirectional flow path table with hop-by-hop metrics. You can expand any trace instance in the log to view the following details:

Column

Description

Last Update Time

The flow path instances in running state are refreshed every 10 seconds and the time of the update is displayed.

Flow ID

Flow IDs differentiate two identical flow path instances occurring at different times.

State

This state helps you visualize potential issues with the flow. Only SLA state of the flow is supported.

Direction

Directions could be upstream or downstream. The direction in which the first packet flow is identified is considered as upstream.

Local Color, Remote Color

Local edge (source) and the remote edge (destination) colors indicate different WAN interfaces.

Local Drop(%)

Packet drop on hop's local edge routers.

Remote Drop(%)

Packet drop on hop's remote edge routers (WAN underlay drop on remote edge router excluded)

WAN Drop(%)

Packet loss on WAN from hop's local edge router to remote edge router (includes WAN underlay drop on remote edge router, eg.IPSec Anti-Replay drop.)

Jitter(ms), Latency(ms)

Jitter and latency metrics of the flow. These metrics help with evaluating the application performance in real time.

Total Packets, Total Bytes

For each direction of the flow, total number of packets and total byte count are displayed.
