Understanding the Yearly Graph Information

The yearly ethernet traffic graph page displays the ethernet traffic data for each active ethernet port over the last fifty-two weeks. Each data point on a graph is a one day average of the ethernet traffic during the last fifty-two weeks. The graph also displays the following information:

Current Inbound: Last one day inbound ethernet traffic average measured for the specified port.
Maximum Inbound: Maximum inbound ethernet traffic average in the last fifty-two weeks for the specified port.
Average Inbound: Average inbound ethernet traffic in the last fifty-two weeks for the specified port.
Current Outbound: Last one day outbound ethernet traffic average measured for the specified port.
Maximum Outbound: Maximum outbound ethernet traffic average in the last fifty-two weeks for the specified port.
Average Outbound: Average outbound ethernet traffic in the last fifty-two weeks 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 one day average for the inbound ethernet traffic is 4.3 kB/s. The maximum one day average during the last fifty-two weeks is 342.2 kB/s. The average of all the one day averages for the inbound ethernet traffic during the last fifty-two weeks 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 one day average to be 2.3 kB/s. The maximum one day average during the last fifty-two weeks is 400 kB/s. The average of all the one day averages for outbound ethernet traffic during the last fifty-two weeks 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.
