***Traffic Source***

***Traffic Destination***

Traffic Destinations can be the connected devices of users, internet destinations, and private IP addresses on the connected networks and Hosts that were the intended destination of the traffic from Traffic Sources. Traffic Destinations can be **Applications**, **IP Services**, **Networks**, **Hosts**, **Users/Devices in User Groups**, **Internet Gateways**, and **Other**. **Other** contains Access events that couldn’t be linked to any known configured Traffic Destination.

***Access Event***

An Access Event is generated when a new traffic flow is detected. The traffic flow may be allowed access to the destination or blocked access.

***Blocked Access Event Counts***

Blocked Access Event Counts is the number of **Access Events** that were blocked between a **Traffic Source** and **Traffic Destination** pair.
