WAN Clarity Aggregate On-Demand Bandwidth Reports
Learn about the aggregate on-demand bandwidth utilization reports in Prisma
SD-WAN.
Prisma SD-WAN is
a flexible license-based licensing model that helps enterprises adapt to varying
bandwidth requirements at branch sites caused by increasing cloud adoption, voice/video
applications consumption, and a hybrid workforce that invariably contributes to variable
traffic bursts and consumption.
WAN Clarity aggregate bandwidth reports provide visibility into bandwidth utilization
aggregated across all branches for monitoring and planning purposes.
The bandwidth utilization is measured as follows:
- All the ION devices report the ingress and egress bytes used every one minute.
- These one minute interval readings are combined into contiguous 5-minute blocks.
- The biggest 5-minute block is selected which becomes the basis to report aggregate bandwidth for a specific 24-hour period.
- The utilization is measured based on the total cumulative/aggregate bandwidth (ingress+egress) passing through the ION device across WAN interfaces (ingress/egress) during a designated period of time.
- The information is displayed on a monthly basis.
