Client Statistics CIFSNG/SMB Window

The Client Statistics CIFSNG and SMB windows display a summary of CIFSNG/SMB activity, including session statuses, active sessions, uploaded/downloaded file statuses, bandwidth, and authentication requests. Additional statistics for SMB are also available. These statistics show the network and/or device under test behavior when responding to a number of CIFSNG/SMB sessions generated by the client.

These statistics are updated throughout the test at a pre-configured sampling interval.

Field	Description
CIFSNG/SMB Sessions per second graph	The CIFSNG/SMB session statuses as follows: Attempted: The number of CIFSNG/SMB requests sent to the server per second. Successful: The number of successful CIFSNG/SMB sessions per second. A session is considered successful if it was served in its entirety by the server. Unsuccessful: The number of unsuccessful CIFSNG/SMB sessions per second. A session is unsuccessful for a variety of reasons, such as the file not existing on the server, the test finishing before the file was completely sent to the client, losing the file connection during the test, and so on. Aborted: The number of CIFSNG/SMB sessions that were aborted by the client per second. A session is aborted when the client terminates the CIFSNG/SMB protocol conversation in accordance with the Abort parameter in the Client Profile.
CIFSNG/SMB Active sessions graph	The number of active CIFSNG/SMB sessions established during a test. A session is considered active from the time the CIFSNG/SMB protocol conversation has been established, to the time the conversation ends.
CIFSNG/SMB Uploaded files graph	The number of attempted, successful, and unsuccessful files written from the client to the server.
CIFSNG/SMB Downloaded files graph	The number of attempted, successful, and unsuccessful files read from the server to the client.
CIFSNG/SMB Bandwidth Kbytes/sec graph	The incoming and outgoing CIFSNG/SMB bandwidth traffic (in Kbytes/second).
CIFSNG/SMB Authentications per second graph	The number of authentication requests per second for each of the following authentication types: NTLM NTLMv2 NTLMv2-SESSION-SECURITY
SMB Statistics:
SMB Incoming File Transfer Time	Three separate plots showing the minimum, maximum, and average incoming file transfer time in milliseconds.
SMB Outgoing File Transfer Time	Three separate plots showing the minimum, maximum, and average outgoing file transfer time in milliseconds.
SMB Transaction Rate	A single plot showing the number of SMB requests per second (that is, the total protocol level transaction number divided by one interval length).
SMB Requests	The total number of attempted, successful, and unsuccessful requests for each of the following request types: SMB Negotiate SMB2 Negotiate session setup logoff tree connect tree disconnect create close read write cancel query directory oplock break
SMB Response Time	The minimum, maximum, and average response time for each of the above request types.
