The Port Statistics screen shows the following:
Port ID
The ID of the port you are currently managing.
Bandwidth Used
This counter provides a running average of the
occupied bandwidth and is expressed as a percentage of the
theoretical maximum bandwidth available. A sampling period of 1
minute is used. The value gives an indication of the general traffic level
of the network. A high utilization for single station segments is an
indication that your network is operating efficiently. However, if
multiple end-stations are connected to this port and you see values of
around 40% you should reconsider the topology of your network
because each user will see degraded network performance.
