Description

Percentage of the network’s transmission bandwidth used over the last 1 second. Utilization includes correct frames, collisions, and jabber. The percentage indicates the current traffic density.

The average of all the 1-second utilization percentages since the start of the test.

The highest 1-second utilization percentage recorded since the start of the test.

The percentage of collision frames as compared to the total number of frames detected in the last 1 second. Collisions are counted when runt packets are detected.

The average of all the 1-second collision percentages since the start of the test.

The highest 1-second collision percentage recorded since the start of the test.

If jabber is detected, the message Jabber Detected appears in this space. A jabber is reported if a frame is detected to be larger than the maximum legal size. If no link pulse is detected, the message NO LINK PULSE appears in this space.

Activates and deactivates a sound that represents network activity.
