Matrix Table layout

The Matrix Table layout has a number of aspects.

Subelement (resource) modeling is used to:
  • Represent paths
  • Provide metrics on paths
  • Define source and destination identifiers for labels on the report
  • Filter a set of resources representing the paths out of a larger set of resources
  • Defining threshold levels
Even a small Matrix Table contains many statistics. For example, a table for a fully meshed network of 25 endpoints contains 625 cells. This results in 600 resources; 625 less the 25 cells in the diagonal. Diagonal cells are not a valid path as the source equals the destination.

Modeling plays a greater role in the Matrix Table than in other charts and tables.
