FDDI Statistics

6-13

FDDI Applications

KBytes/sec

The number of kilobytes/second (averaged over the speciÞed poll interval)
transmitted by the indicated SMT.

Peak KBytes/sec

The peak number of kilobytes/second transmitted by the indicated SMT, as
detected over all polling intervals since monitoring began (i.e., since the FDDI
Statistics window was Þrst opened).

%Util

The percentage of utilization of available bandwidth by the indicated SMT over
the current poll interval; the percentage is calculated by dividing the actual
number of transmitted bytes/sec into the maximum number of bytes/sec that
could be transmitted (125,000,000 bytes/sec potential on a 100 Megabit/second
ring).
