  • Network Traffic Rate - The average of received and transmitted traffic during the time interval.
  • Network Tx Rate - The average rate at which data was transmitted during the time interval.
  • Dropped Rx Packets - The average ratio of dropped received packets to total received packets.
  • Dropped Tx Packets - The average ratio of dropped transmitted packets to total transmitted packets.
  • Interface Peak Buffer Utilization - Peak buffer occupancy per port during the time interval.
  • uRPF Drop Packets -The number of packets dropped at the switch port due to unicast reverse-path forwarding (uRPF).
