NetFlow: Conversation Metrics
Conversation is the transfer of data from a source to a destination. This involves a source IP, which generates the traffic, and a destination IP, which receives it. Site24x7 analyzes application-wise conversations, along with traffic in that particular conversation.
The IP address and the traffic split by the source and destination are covered in the Source and Destination tabs respectively.
Here is the list of metrics that help analyze network traffic at the conversation level:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Source | The IP address of the device that generates traffic. |
| Destination | The IP address of the device that receives traffic. |
| Application Name | The application involved in that particular conversation, i.e, the application transferred from the source to destination. |
| Traffic | The amount of traffic generated by this particular application, in this particular conversation, specified in bytes and percentage. |
