Top Talkers (Top N Details Screen)
Clicking on the “Top Talkers” link in the navigation tree displays the Top N

initiate the generation of a list of IP addresses ranked in terms of the number
of frames and octets they have transmitted during a specified reporting period.

that will be reported.) This report allows MIS managers to determine who is
