IP Application Accelerator Traffic report

The IP Application Accelerator (IPA) presents traffic and bandwidth data associated with TCP application delivery through IPA. It delivers TCP/IP-based applications globally to users and lets you optimize the delivery of TCP/IP apps using ​Akamai​ dynamic mapping, route optimization, and packet redundancy features, and a high-performance transport protocol.

Data granularity
This report can show five-minute, hourly, or daily data intervals. Data is retained for up to 90 days.

Filters
Select at least one required filter in every report. For optional filters, making no selection returns all associated data for that filter.

  • SRIP slot data, or CP code (required). Content provider (CP) codes let you segment your delivered content for tracking and reporting purposes. All CP codes have ties to one or more services, which are tracked and reported under that CP code.

Metrics

  • Concurrent users. The number of concurrent connections, measured at five-minute intervals. A connection counts if the user is connected for any part of the five-minute period. For example, if User X disconnects at minute 2 and User Y connects at minute 4, this is considered two concurrent connections, so too if User X disconnects at minute 2 and reconnects at minute 4.

  • Peak concurrent users. The highest number of connections, measured at five-minute intervals. A connection counts if the user connects for any part of the five minute period.

  • Latest concurrent users. The most recent number of connections, measured at five-minute intervals. A connection counts if the user connects for any part of the five-minute period.

  • Throughput, in bits/sec. The rate of traffic from the client to the origin (incoming) and the rate of traffic to the client from the origin (outgoing), for origins that are served by associated SureRoute IP (SRIP) endpoints, converted into bits per second at five-minute intervals, based on connectivity from ​Akamai​ distributed network to edge nodes on your network.

  • Peak throughput, in bits/sec. The highest rate of traffic from the client to the origin (incoming) and the rate of traffic to the client from the origin (outgoing), converted into bits per second at five-minute intervals. Based on connectivity from ​Akamai​ distributed network to edge nodes on your network.

  • Latest throughput, in bits/sec. The most recent rate of traffic from the client to the origin (incoming) and the rate of traffic to the client from the origin (outgoing), converted into bits per second at five-minute intervals.

What else is in play?
User sessions are comprised of traffic that is bidirectional between two SureRoute IP (SRIP) network endpoints. There's no difference between portions of the route and direction traffic flows.

Typically, a user opens a browser and makes a request of the origin server. The browser may open multiple TCP connections to process the session, but the request is a single session. User can open another browser window or application instance and make a subsequent request. When multiple instances are running separate requests, IP Application Accelerator considers them individual users. Sessions are HTTPS requests coupled with their responses.

IP Application Accelerator Blocked Traffic report

The IP Application Accelerator (IPA) Blocked Traffic report displays the amount of traffic blocked overall and the amount of traffic blocked for specific reasons, such as blocklisted IP addresses. IPA delivers TCP/IP-based applications to users on a global scale. IP Application Accelerator offers the versatility to optimize the delivery of a variety of TCP/IP applications using ​Akamai​ dynamic mapping, route optimization, and packet redundancy features, and a high-performance transport protocol.

Session Accelerator (SXL) Traffic report

SXL product lets enterprises securely extend web-based applications to ​Akamai​ edge platform, bringing content close to end users. Performance improvements applied at the session level include route optimization, TCP optimization and packet replication techniques. The Session Accelerator Traffic report displays traffic data for an origin web server or a set of origins. You set the view on the Traffic page by selecting an account, a property, a context, and the associated contract. The context is the specific SXL pathway between two endpoints.
