Hello:
We have Riverbeds deployed in our network and I downloaded the WAN Optimization reports module from this site to monitor their performance. I'm wondering if anyone's had experience with this tool and can give me some pointers as to how to glean the best data.
So far, it seems as though monitoring traffic from my inpath interface to my next hop toward the internet (firewall) interface produces somewhat satisfactory data. However, I'm not sure I"m looking at the right thing.
Can anyone share their own experience? What interfaces did you monitor to get the best results? How do you interpret the data? What's the difference between pre-bytes/post-bytes and pre-packets/post-packets? They seem to report very different results.
Thanks-
Leslie
