+==== New Counter Groups : User-ID and App-ID  ====
+Trisul automatically creates two counter groups called User-ID and App-ID. These meter the following metrics at the global level.
+^meter^description^
+|Total traffic|Total traffic bandwidth used by a User or App|
+|Download traffic| Download bandwidth used by per User/App. The Download direction is metered when the flow source IP is an external IP address and the destination-IP is internal. Internal IPs belong to the Home Network configured in Trisul|
+|Upload traffic| per-User bandwidth out of home network to external|
+|Internal traffic| per-User bandwidth where both the source and destination are inside the home network|
+|Transit traffic| where both source and destination are outside the home network. You will typically not find data here in normal enterprise environments|
+|Flows| Total number of flows active per user/app |
-NAT issues
+To view these metrics
