Understanding the Daily Graph Information

The daily ethernet traffic graph page displays the ethernet traffic data for each active ethernet port over the last twenty-four hours. Each data point on a graph is a five minute average of the ethernet traffic during the last twenty-four hours. The graph also displays the following information:

Current Inbound: Last five minute inbound ethernet traffic average measured for the specified port.
Maximum Inbound: Maximum inbound ethernet traffic average in the last twenty-four hours for the specified port.
Average Inbound: Average inbound ethernet traffic in the last twenty-four hours for the specified port.
Current Outbound: Last five minute outbound ethernet traffic average measured for the specified port.
Maximum Outbound: Maximum outbound ethernet traffic average in the last twenty-four hours for the specified port.
Average Outbound: Average outbound ethernet traffic in the last twenty-four hours for the specified port.

Example:

Current Inbound:4.3 kB/s (0.0 %)
Maximum Inbound:342.2 kB/s (5.2 %)
Average Inbound:9.3 kB/s (0.2 %)
Current Outbound:2.3 kB/s (0.0 %)
Maximum Outbound:400 kB/s (6.0 %)
Average Outbound:21.3 kB/s (0.7 %)

According to this example, the current five minute average for the inbound ethernet traffic is 4.3 kB/s. The maximum five minute average during the last twenty-four hours is 342.2 kB/s. The average of all the five minute averages for the inbound ethernet traffic during the last twenty-four hours is 9.3 kB/s. The percent number in brackets after each value represents the percentage of the maximum available capacity that this activity is using based on the type of ethernet card being used.

Also, in this example, the numbers for the outbound ethernet traffic indicate the current five minute average to be 2.3 kB/s. The maximum five minute average during the last twenty-four hours is 400 kB/s. The average of all the five minute averages for the outbound ethernet traffic during the last twenty-four hours is 21.3 kB/s. The percent number in brackets after each value represents the percentage of the maximum available capacity that this activity is using based on the type of ethernet card being used.
