This API's Get time series data operation returns a three-level mapping structure with details about usage and attacks on individual destination IP addresses or CIDR blocks.

In the operation's response, you can see numerous usage timestamps corresponding to individual data facets.
A data facet can have one of these formats:

  • [ACCESS|BORDER]_FLOW_[DATA_CENTER_NAME]_[NETWORK_PROTOCOL|TOTAL]_[BPS|PPS]

  • [ACCESS|BORDER]_FLOW_[NETWORK_PROTOCOL|TOTAL]_[BPS|PPS]

This table shows sample values you may see in a response together with explanations of specific segments:
