Network breakdown tables

The network Breakdown by Partitions table

The Breakdown by Partitions table shows network traffic data for logical partitions. Each row indicates the ID of the network bridge with which that partition is associated. The rows also indicate the number of Virtual I/O Servers that are associated with the partition, and the amount of virtual and physical traffic that is processed through the partition. The Traffic Trend column shows the overall network traffic for the logical partition for the time interval you selected.

Click a network bridge ID to display network traffic information, such as the number of packets that were sent and received and the speeds at which packets were sent or received, for the bridge.

The Traffic Trend column shows the overall network traffic on the network bridge for the time interval you selected.
