If you select current year than you can define report period more exactly. Each period has minimal time interval.
There are

For Year minimal period is one day.

Filters

You can filter traffic information for selected period by

IPP In this case will be showed traffic information for selected IPPs only.
IP addresses In this case will be showed traffic information for selected IP addresses (or intervals of IP addresses) only.
Protocols In this case will be showed traffic information for selected protocols only.

Note! Information about filter parameters will be displayed on the top of report page.
For example:

Filter parameters
IPP:	0, 1, 2
Protocols:	ICMP, All TCP
IP address:	062.094.170.067 : 062.110.059.140
	064.223.179.109

Possible combinations report parameters

Report type	IPP filter	Protocol filter	Display information as	Result
Individuals	All IPP	All protocols	Picture/Table	Report where traffic information will be grouped by IPP (i.e each table/graph will contain traffic information for one IPP and all protocols).
Sums	All IPP	All protocols	Picture	Report on the picture view where traffic information grouped as by IPP as by Protocols (i.e. one picture only).
Sums	All IPP	All protocols	Table	Table where traffic information will be grouped by IPP (i.e each table row will contain traffic information for one IPP and all protocols on table or picture view).
Individuals	All IPP	A few protocols	Picture/Table	Error. It is not valid combination. We can use multiple protocol report only for one IPP.
Sums	All IPP	A few protocols	Picture/Table	Report where traffic information on each picture will be grouped by IPP (i.e. each picture/table row will contain traffic information for one Protocol and all IPPs).
Individuals	A few IPPs	A few protocols	Picture/Table	Error. It is not valid combination. We can use multiple protocol report only for one IPP.
Sums	A few IPPs	A few protocols	Picture/Table	Report where traffic information on each picture will be grouped by IPP (i.e. each picture/table row will contain traffic information for one Protocol and all selected IPPs).
Individuals	One IPP	A few protocols	Picture/Table	Report where on each picture/table row will contain traffic information for selected IPP and one seleted Protocol.
Sums	One IPP	A few protocols	Picture/Table	Report where traffic information on each picture will be grouped by IPP (i.e. each picture/table row will contain traffic information for one Protocol and all selected IPPs).
