Viewing Outbound Traffic¶
The Outbound Traffic page displays the protected traffic from EIPs on the cloud to the Internet. CFW collects traffic statistics based on sessions. Traffic data is reported when the connection is terminated.
Prerequisites¶
EIP protection is enabled and there is already traffic passing through the EIP. For details, see Enabling Internet Border Traffic Protection.
Specification Limitations¶
To view data of private network assets initiating Internet connections, enable the VPC border firewall in the CFW professional edition. For details, see VPC border firewall.
