Monitoring Real-Time Traffic
The Real-Time Traffic dashboard enables you to monitor Internet usage in real-time. Monitor current active connections and terminate them if necessary (for example, streaming media or large unauthorized downloads), and view most recent connections. Real-time graphs of bandwidth and activity give you visual indicators of the current situation.
The Real-Time Traffic dashboard allows administrators to terminate connections that are having a bad impact in the network speed or bandwidth available.
