Traffic Monitor is a network management tool that allows you to observe and analyze the flow of network traffic through a Maple Systems switch. It helps administrators monitor specific traffic types and other network statistics to optimize performance and identify issues. Traffic Monitor enables real-time monitoring of traffic behaviors such as broadcast, multicast, and packet counts across various ports.

The Packet Type feature tracks traffic based on its type. Allowing you to monitor broadcast, multicast, or a combination of both types. Packets Per Second (PPS) measures the rate of packet transmission across the network, helping to assess the network’s performance and load. The Manual Recovery feature enables administrators to trigger recovery actions when traffic anomalies or issues are detected. The Recovery State shows the current status of the recovery process, indicating whether the system is resolving the traffic issue. Recovery Time (Min) specifies the time in minutes required to restore normal traffic conditions. Finally, the Quarantine Time feature isolates suspicious or abnormal traffic for a specified period, preventing it from affecting the rest of the network.
