RMON Application Layer - Host Table

The table of hosts of the application layer "alHostTable", group 16 of the RMON 2 standard, displays traffic statistics issued and received for each host identified (ex IP address) and for each application of this host (http, ftp, smtp, snmp, etc.).

A host with multiple communication protocols or multiple addresses to a single protocol will appear several times in this table for each of the protocols and addresses each of its networks. This is the case of an IP router for example.

To access the host table click on the icon or select the menu option Application Layer and Host Table option.

The table of hosts contains the following columns:

Column	Description
Host Name	The source host name retrieved from the LoriotPro directory. If the host name is unknown LoriotPro is unable to detect or discover the MAC address or this host is dont declared in the directory.
Host Address	The network source address for this Entry. This is represented as an octet string with specific semantics and length as identified by the protocolDirLocalIndex component of the index. For example, if the protocolDirLocalIndex indicates an encapsulation of IP, this object is encoded as a length octet of 4, followed by the 4 octets of the IP address, in network byte order.
Protocol
Incoming Packets mib object : alHostInPkts	The number of packets of this protocol type without errors transmitted to this address since it was added to the alHostTable. Note that this is the number of link-layer packets, so if a single network-layer packet is fragmented into several link-layer frames, this counter is incremented several times.
Outgoing Packets mib object : alHostOutPkts	The number of packets of this protocol type without errors transmitted by this address since it was added to the alHostTable. Note that this is the number of link-layer packets, so if a single network-layer packet is fragmented into several link-layer frames, this counter is incremented several times."
Incoming Octets mib object : alHostInOctets	The number of octets transmitted to this address of this protocol type since it was added to the alHostTable (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets), excluding octets in packets that contained errors. Note that this doesn't count just those octets in the particular protocol frames but includes the entire packet that contained the protocol.
OutGoing Octets mib object : alHostOutOctets	The number of octets transmitted by this address of this protocol type since it was added to the alHostTable (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets), excluding octets in packets that contained errors. Note that this doesn't count just those octets in the particular protocol frames but includes the entire packet that contained the protocol.
