Monitoring bandwidth usage for individual links

Use the Links table to monitor bandwidth usage for individual links in the network managed by IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager.

About this task

The monitoring interface includes tabs for links, sites, link calls, and site calls. The Links tab provides the following information:

  • What is the source site and destination site for each link?
  • What city and region are associated with the link?
  • How much bandwidth is currently used on a link?
  • How much unused bandwidth remains for the link?
  • What percentage of available bandwidth is currently being used?
  • How many calls are using the bandwidth on that link ?

From the link monitoring area, administrators can drill down and see which calls are using the bandwidth on that link.
