To look at statistics detailing switched and forwarded traffic, click the Monitor Tool Flows button to present the Flow Statistics View. The following figure shows an example of the Flow Statistics View (partial screen).

The following section describes the fields in the Flow Statistics View.

Interval
Every five minutes, the network is polled and the information is displayed at the Flow Statistics View is sequentially generated rows. Up to 12 rows, or those associated with the past hour, are displayed. Each poll measures the traffic for the previous five minutes only. Blank rows signify polling intervals that have not yet occurred.
Switched Traffic
Switched traffic is network traffic that the GIGAswitch/IP Switch Controller flow characterization algorithm has redirected to the switch. It does not pass through the GIGAswitch/IP Switch Controller.
Switched traffic normally consists of long-lived flows such as video, bulk data transfers, and so on.
Forwarded Traffic
Forwarded traffic is network traffic that the GIGAswitch/IP Switch Controller flow characterization algorithm has not switched. This traffic has been forwarded by the GIGAswitch/IP Switch Controller.
Forwarded traffic usually consists of short-lived flows such as DNS queries, short E-mail transports, ICMP pings, and so on.
