Data Transferred

Applies To:

HTTP LargeThis platform has been optimized to cache and deliver static content (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ISO, multimedia, and software downloads, etc.) over HTTP or HTTPS.

HTTP SmallLegacy. If you are currently serving traffic over this platform, then you may continue to do so. However, we recommend that you serve your traffic over our more robust HTTP Large platform.

ADNThe Application Delivery Network platform has been optimized to deliver dynamic content (e.g., login credentials, account information, etc.) over HTTP or HTTPS. Typically, user-specific and database-driven content are served over this platform.

AnalyticsThis product provides a variety of reports that range from basic CDN usage statistics to real-time data to in-depth trend analysis on key metrics. This suite consists of the following modules: Core, Custom, Advanced Content Analytics, Real-Time Statistics, and Edge Performance Analytics. - Core

This type of report allows you to view the amount of data transferred (MB) on your account. This report is based on traffic statistics tracked by our edge servers.

A Data Transferred report can report data based on platform/protocol or by the type of IP address (i.e., IPv4 or IPv6) used by clients to request your content. The manner in which data is organized for this type of report is determined by your selection in the side navigation bar.

A Data Transferred report consists of a graph indicating the amount of data transferred for the selected platform/protocol or IP protocol over a particular time period.

Key information:

View the amount of data transferred at a specified point in time by hovering over the desired bar in the graph. The time interval represented by each bar is determined by whether you are viewing an hourly (5 minute increments) or daily (hourly increments) report.
Filter report data by POP by selecting it from the Edge Nodes option.
Data for transactions that did not complete during the requested time period will be excluded. This holds true even when the transaction started before or during the time period covered by the report.
Data is reported in 5 minute chunks.
If you are viewing data for a recent time period (e.g., Today or Past 24 Hours), then you will notice that amount of data transferred tapers off as it approaches the current time. This trend is a result of the amount of time that it takes for log information to be collected from our edge servers.

The data that was used to generate the graph can be viewed below it. A table indicates the amount of data transferred in megabytes and gigabytes in five minute intervals over the time period covered by the report.

Graph information:

Title: Indicates whether time will be expressed by hour or by day.
Y-axis (Left): Indicates the amount of data transferred in megabytes (MB).
X-axis (Below): Indicates the time for the data transferred reported by the corresponding bar in the graph. The time interval between bars can be either hourly or daily.
- Hourly: Information on when this time interval is used and its format is provided below.
  - Scope: Time interval varies according to report type.
    - Platform/Protocol: This time interval is used for the "Past 24 Hours," "Today," and "Yesterday" time periods.
    - IP Protocol: This time interval is used for all time periods.
  - Format: YYYY-MM-DD hh:mmIdentifies a date and time (UTC/GMT) using a 24 hour format (e.g., 2024-07-08 15:00).
- Daily: This time interval is used for all other time periods for reports generated based on platform/protocol.
  - Format: YYYY-MM-DD hh:mmIdentifies a date and time (UTC/GMT) using a 24 hour format (e.g., 2024-07-08 15:00).

To generate a Data Transferred report

Navigate to Core Reports. How?From the main menu, navigate to Analytics | Core Reports.
Generate a report that groups data by one of the following factors:
- Platform/Protocol: From the side navigation bar, expand Data Transferred and then select the desired platform and protocol combination (e.g., HTTPS Large).
  
  A graph will display data transferred statistics for that platform/protocol combination over the last 24 hours for all POPs.
- IP Protocol: Expand IPv4/IPv6 from the side navigation bar and then select the desired IP protocol (i.e., IPv4 or IPv6).
  
  A graph will display data transferred statistics for that IP protocol over the last 24 hours for all POPs.
Optional. Use the Date Range option to define either a custom or predefined (e.g., This Week) time period for which report data will be generated.
