Top Talkers
The Top HTTP Talkers is one of your first reports to run When HTTP usage appears to be using up most of your network bandwidth. This may call for a more detailed analysis of where exactly the bandwidth is getting used up and whether this usage is intended and compliant with company policies. The top HTTP talkers report will show details of all pages and files requested by a specific IP address, when these are requested and the frequency of the requests. There are a number of activities that can be very taxing on your overall bandwidth. Some of these include the use of streaming media, Internet games and music downloads.
Top HTTP Talker reports can help you determine if the excessive usage is necessary for normal business and therefore more investment in infrastructure is needed or whether the simple enforcement of your existing usage policies will solve the problems you are seeing.
Analysis of these reports will show whether the usage is from internal servers or Internet web sites.
