Traffic Profile Modeling
Internetwork Monitor’s powerful traffic profile modeling feature lets you
easily play “what if” with your internetwork, based on actual network
data.
A model is a copy of the internetwork view. Once you create a model, you
can manipulate it without changing the original view, allowing side-by-
side comparisons between your actual network traffic patterns and the
model.
All views for a given copy of Internetwork Monitor show the same traffic
data, using the same data collection properties, including threshold. As a
result, when Internetwork Monitor updates the displayed traffic, the
original view and any models are all affected, simultaneously.
However, each view has its own view properties, segment map, node
placement, and segment ring placement. This scheme lets you view your
network traffic in different ways, simultaneously. For example, you
might have the original view showing Network layer traffic, and a model
showing Segment traffic. Or you could create a model to see the effects of
moving one or more nodes from one segment to another.
You can also create new segment rings and move nodes to them, allowing
you to see the effects of resegmenting your network.
The following pages explain how to create, manipulate, save, and load
Internetwork Monitor models.
