MAC protocols module
The MAC protocols module operates on layer 2 of the network stack. It stores information about all MAC protocols. For every protocol, the corresponding network traffic is accounted.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”The Overview shows common MAC protocols such as IPv4, IPv6, ARP and whether VLAN tags are set together with the corresponding traffic. A pie chart visualises the distribution of traffic and the history chart shows time based traffic per protocol. In live view the total amount of bytes is displayed. If an interval is selected, only the traffic from this interval is being shown.
MAC protocol list
Section titled “MAC protocol list”The MAC protocol list shows all protocols with the corresponding traffic. The list may be sorted by selecting the proper column.
It is possible to capture the traffic of a MAC protocol by clicking on the download button (see Capture module).
