Introduction

The TCPWave’s DDI Reporting Framework is in-built into the core DDI product with no additional license and is one of the most advanced frameworks in the current DDI market. It generates the widespread network reports used by today’s most advanced network teams. The network teams can now do a detailed investigation of events, identify anomalies, collect audit data, and share the dashboards with the organizations at large. The network administrators can gather actionable insights on various KPIs such as network space utilization and DHCP appliance utilization. This white paper provides insights on the Address Space Reports – IPv4 Reports.

Address Space Reports

The address space reports are grouped as:

IPv4 Reports section is grouped as:
