wXcked Eye Protocol Fanout Stats

WHAT TO EXPECT

The Protocol Fanout Stats page allows users to see metrics for non-Multicast and non-Broadcast data flows. This includes protocols, such as SRT Caller, SRT Listener, RIST Caller and RIST Listener.

In this section, users will learn how to navigate between different protocols and their adaptors in order to better visualize their packets' movements. Please note: This page only shows the stats for protocol fanout configurations. To learn how to configure your cloudSwXtch for Protocol Fanout and Conversion in the wXcked Eye UI, please read this article.

Locating the Protocol Fanout Stats Page

To navigate to the Protocol Fanout Stats page, users will need to click on the menu option at the top right corner by the swXtch.io logo. 

Statistics displayed through the wXcked Eye UI focus primarily on multicast and broadcast data flow. The Protocol Fanout Stats page provides users with a dedicated area to see data flow for alternative protocols like SRT and RIST.

Adaptor View

At start-up, the page will be in Adaptors view and display 3 graphs: 

1. Packets Egress

2. Packets Lost 

3. Packets Retransmitted

A user can select the Protocols they want listed in the left hand side to filter Adaptors or return to "All" to see them all listed. At the top of the Adaptors panel, users can filter the list further by direction -- either Ingress or Egress. 

Protocol View

A user can select to View Stats by Protocol by clicking the dropdown menu in the upper right hand corner. This will provide users with a table view, listing adaptors by protocol. This allows for closer comparison between adaptors. The table can be configured to display in both Rates (pps) or Total Packets. 

Similar to the Adaptors view, users can group adaptors by protocol. The Protocol panel on the left hand side enables users to filter our certain protocols so that they list in the center table. In addition, users can also group protocols by direction -- either Ingress or Egress.
