Issue/Introduction

We would like to know what represents the 'Bytes Saved' field when running reports in Reporter:

Resolution

The 'Bytes Saved' field displays bandwidth savings. It represents data that did not traverse the WAN because of object and byte caching, protocol optimization, and compression. It is calculated as:

Bytes Saved = Client Bytes - Server Bytes

where Client Bytes is the data rate calculated to and from the client on the client-side connection, and Server Bytes is the data rate calculated to and from the server on the server-side connection.
