A Sample Rate identifies the number of seconds for each sample period. The default setting for the
sample rate is 5 seconds. During this period, the system keeps track of the total number of bytes
that is transferred in both directions between two systems. The utilization percentage is determined
by comparing this total with the realistic maximum for the current aggregate amount of
bandwidth.
O VERLOAD T RIGGER N UMBER
The number of samples within the window that must exceed the specified utilization for the
OVERLOAD condition to occur.
O VERLOAD W INDOW S IZE
The number of sample periods (up to 32) that you should use as the sliding window.
O VERLOAD P ERCENT U TILIZATION
The percentage of the available bandwidth that the traffic samples must exceed for an overload
condition to occur.
