Locating Bandwidth Abusers

Finding the users who take up precious bandwidth is a core functionality of nLive that is commonly used.

nLive provides ways to find top users (Top talkers, listeners) of:

All bandwidth
Incoming, internal, and outbound bandwidth
Bandwidth used by abnormal traffic
Bandwidth used by applications such as VoIP, Web, EMail, FTP, SSH, flash video, downloads, etc.
Bandwidth used by ports, subnets, servers, users, departments, locations ...
many more...

Almost all parts of the user interface show bandwidth users. You can search, report and display on teh dashboards and graphs the bandwidth usage of various computers, subnets, departments, etc. Bandwidth abusers also often appear in the 'problem list'.
