Hi hanlu,

Shortly say - Endpoints resource is not directional, it displays both - Transmitters and Receivers (so it also duplicates communicated data by design).

So by short example - if we would have the following communications:

from to bytes
__________
A -> B   10
B -> A   10
C -> A   10

Then Top Endpoints, Transmitters and Receivers would look like this:

Endpoints:
A 30
B 20
C 10

Transmitters:
A 10
B 10
C 10

Receivers:
A 20
B 10

Let us know if more clarification is needed, or if you are not able to suit your needs with this behavior

Thanks
Jan

Hi Jan, thank for your quick reply. In this case, can I conclude Top N end points for certain Vlan is the super set of Top N Transmitters and Receivers for same Vlan?

hanlu, exactly as you said - Endpoints should be everytime superset of Transmitters and Receivers (assuming thay all are shown on the same view - means same filters are applied).
