Table Column	Description
Protocol Name	Name of a network protocol (i.e., ARP, IP, IPX, etc.)
Total Frames	Total number of captured frames that are associated with a particular
	protocol
Rel % Frames	Percentage of all frames captured that are associated with a particular
	protocol
Total Bytes	Total number of captured bytes that are associated with a particular pro-
	tocol
Rel % Bytes	Percentage of all bytes captured that are associated with a protocol
Abs % Bytes	Percentage of network capacity (measured in bytes) that are associated

Utilization/Error View

Utilization/Error View is a simple strip chart that plots points for network utilization over time.

The scale for network utilization changes on-the-fly when a new peak percentage is reached. The time scale also scales automatically as the resource is monitored over time. The graph has an optional watermark showing the highest utilization point.

The errors plotted on the graph are the total number of CRC and Alignment errors.

From Summary View, set the view preferences to Utilization/Error to see this view in the first tab. From Detail View, click on the Capture button or the Transmit button to open a window with the Utilization strip chart. From Detail View, the Utilization/Error chart is presented with the tables of transmit or receive counters.
