DSCP Comparison Report

The DSCP Comparison Report presents a table listing the traffic characteristics for each detected differentiated services code point (DiffServ CodePoint) traffic classification observed by a PacketShaper during the report period. You can click on a DSCP value listed in the first column of the report to drill down to a DSCP Detail Report.

Table Headings

The following list includes the column headings on the DSCP Comparison Report. The table can be sorted on any column by clicking on the column heading.

Heading Description
Average Jitter The average variation in speed detected; applies only to certain VOIP connections
Average One Way Delay The average of all reported values for measured delay times in one direction of data flow
Bytes The total number of bytes used by this host pair during the report period
DSCP The value of the 6 bits in the TCP header used for Differentiated Services Code Point
Efficiency Level % The percentage of bytes that did not require retransmission
Flows The type of data flow used
Host Transmit Speed The observed rate at which a host transmits data
Network Delay Average number of milliseconds packets spent in transit
Normalized Network Delay The transaction delay in the network, normalized by transaction size. It shows how long it takes to send 1Kb of data.
Packets The total number of packets exchanged by the host pair in the report period
Packet Loss Percentage The ratio of lost or dropped packets to total packets, expressed as a percentage
PET Client Packet Exchange Time, the portion of time observed for two hosts to exchange a packet attributed to delay by the client in a client/server transaction
PET Server Packet Exchange Time, the portion of time observed for two hosts to exchange a packet attributed to delay by the server in a client/server transaction
Ping Exchange Time The round trip time for an ICMP PING protocol packet
Ping Success % The percentage of ICMP PING requests that received a response before the timeout value was reached
Server Delay Average number of milliseconds required for servers to process requests. The time starts when the server has received all required request packets and ends when the server issues the first packet of the response.
Throughput The rate of data exchange for this host pair
Total Delay Average number of milliseconds to complete transactions; includes network delay and server delay
Transaction Count The total number of unique iterations of a transfer of data or control detected during the report period
