TCP Connections Workspace
The TCP Connections workspace provides performance for TCP connections
with current activity.
Though the Connections workspace is the default workspace accessed from
branches on the Navigator physical tree, the TCP Connections workspace can
also be displayed by doing the following:
- Click the Connections Navigator item.
- Right-click the Connections Navigator item.
- Select Workspaces and select the TCP Connections from the menu.
The TCP Connections workspace displays the following views:
- Response Time Variance > 5 msec - This bar chart
displays response time variance by connection number or ID.
- Retransmission Rate > 0 - This bar chart displays
retransmissions per minute by connection number or ID.
- Byte Rates for TCP Connections - This bar chart
displays the bytes sent and received, per minute, by connection number or
ID.
- Segment Rates for TCP Connections - This bar chart
displays the segments sent and received, per minute, by connection number
or ID.
- TCP Connections Summary Table - Provides detailed
connections and performance information.
TCP Connections Summary Table
The TCP Connections summary table provides detailed information about the
connections and performance data displayed in the charts on the TCP Connections
workspace.
The TCP Connections summary table filters the number of rows that can be
retrieved for display using the Byte Rate attribute.
The filter for this workspace is byte rate greater than or equal to 1024.
For a complete list of the attributes available in the TCP Connections
summary table, and a brief description of each, see the TCPIP Details Attributes help panel.
Note: If you clicked a link in an FTP or TN3270 workspace
to access the TCP Connections workspace and the TCP Connections workspace
displays no data, check the collection interval in the summary table on the
workspace you navigated from. If this is a new connection, there is no data
until the next collection has occurred.
These following additional workspaces can be accessed by left-clicking
on the link icon for a row in the TCP Connections Summary Table:
- Current IP Filters by Destination Address Workspace:
If the Connection Type is TCP, this link causes a dialog box to be displayed
that prompts you for a destination IP address that is compared to the currently
active filters for a TCP/IP stack. This field is filled in by default with
the value from the Remote IP Address column for the
selected connection, but you can change this value to be any IPv4 or IPv6
address. If the Remote IP Address column is blank, the field will display
IP address that matches all addresses. With this address as input, this link
navigates to the Current IP Filters By Destination Address
Workspace showing the IP filters that match the IP address that you provided.
- IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS DVIPA Definition and Status
Workspace: This link uses the IP address specified by the Local IP Address attribute to link to the NetView DVIPA Definition and
Status Workspace. This conditional link is available only if the DVIPA attribute
in these workspaces has the value of Yes (1).
