The summary.csv file contains one row for each domain, and summarizes the distribution of topology between the domains. The file has the following columns of information:

  • Name of the domain

  • Number of devices that the domain owns

    Devices for which the domain has the primary responsibility for management.

  • Number of ports on owned devices

  • Number of interfaces on owned devices

  • Topology Split Manager weight metric for the owned devices

  • Number of devices that the domain proxies

    Devices for which the domain has a partial responsibility for management.

  • Number of ports on proxied devices

  • Number of interfaces on proxied devices

  • Topology Split Manager weight metric for the proxied devices

  • Total of the owned and proxied weight metrics

  • Percentage relative to an equal share of the weights that this domain contains.

    That is, for a perfect split, each domain would carry exactly 100% of their fair share of the weight. Realistically, some domains will carry more than their fair share (>100%) and other will carry less (<100%). The closer these numbers get to 100% across all domains, the more evenly distributed the load becomes across the domains.
