Checking DPI equipment configuration
This use case is performed in "Online Reports" module.
Monitoring network status in real time is an ideal tool for debugging DPI configuration during initial setup or after making changes.
In particular, a network operator can set protocol priorities as follows:
- YouTube – highest priority (cs_0),
- Skype, Telegram – high priority (cs_1),
- Torrent, P2P, Windows updates – low priority (cs_7).
After applying the corresponding settings in the GUI or configuration file, you can open the online report “Traffic by application protocols.” The graphs in real time will show the changes: YouTube will take all available bandwidth, while torrent traffic will be limited.
Detailed configuration of online reports is described here; for this use case, select the report “Traffic speed” → “Traffic by application protocols.”
This functionality is available in the QoE Analytics module of the BASE license.
