Overview
The Segmentation Flows widget uses a Sankey diagram to visually represent the protocols and destinations used by devices when accessing the Internet. This visualization helps you quickly understand traffic distribution and relationships for more informed segmentation and security policy decisions.
Getting Started with the Segmentation Flow
The diagram displays traffic as flows between hierarchical levels. This includes:
Device Type
Application
Protocol
Destination (optional view)
The width of each connection represents the relative volume of traffic flowing between entities.
Displaying the Segmentation Flow
You can display the Segmentation Flow by navigating to Home > Devices > Segmentation tab.
Using the Segmentation Flow
The segmentation flow provides insight into:
Which device types generate the most traffic
Which applications are most used by specific device categories
The protocol distribution per device type
Traffic to specific destinations (when enabled)
