response time view is not available as a chart. Use this table if you want to find out
which applications are responding very slowly in the network.
To calculate application response time, Surveyor causes a stimulus packet to be
transmitted so the application layer round trip time can be assessed. However, the
packet cannot be sent if the analyzer device used by Surveyor is connected through a
tap device.The application response time will only work if the transmit port of the
analyzer is directly connected to a switch port or device.

From Detail View, click on the button to open a window with Multi-QoS
