This page is to help explain what information is being displayed in an opFlow chart over a period of time. Using the example below we can see the flow summary of an agent, in this case it is a router named gc-router1. We are collecting flow information sent Out on the interface named FastEthernet0/0: Opmantek LAN. If you would like to view flow information coming In instead, change this option to In after selecting the agent and interface to monitor.
