Network Traffic

Displays information to monitor network traffic that occurs so that it can optimize network performance and security. There are several graphs in Network Traffic including the following:

Network Traffic by Packets

Displays the total amount of network activity in terms of the number of packets processed.

Network Traffic Errors

Displays the number of errors that occurred during data transmission over the network interface, such as corrupted or lost packets.

Network Traffic Drop

Displays the number of packets dropped or discarded during the transmission process over the network interface including overload, network problems, or improper configuration.

Network Traffic Compressed

Displays the number of packets that were compressed before being sent over the network interface. Network traffic compression can help reduce bandwidth usage and speed up data transmission.

Network Traffic Multicast

Displays the number of packets transmitted via multicast addresses in the network. Multicast traffic is used to send data to multiple receivers in a single transmission operation.

Network Traffic Fifo

Displays the number of packets entering and leaving the FIFO (First In, First Out) queue on the network interface.

Network Traffic Frame

Displays the number of frames transmitted over the network interface.

Network Traffic Carrier

Displays the status of the carrier or network link, such as whether the carrier is active or inactive.

Network Traffic Calls

Displays the number of collisions that occurred during data transmission over the network interface.

NF Conntrack

Displays the number of connections handled by the connection tracing module in the Linux kernel.

ARP Entries

Displays the number of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) entries in the ARP table on the host.

MTU

Displays the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size configured for the network interface.

Speed

Displays the maximum speed supported by the network interface, such as the Ethernet connection speed.

Queue Length

The queue length indicates the number of packets that are waiting to be transmitted or received by the interface.

Sofnet Packets

Displays the number of packets handled by the softnet, which is the part of the Linux kernel responsible for processing network packets received by the system.

Softnet Out of Quota

Displays the number of packets that the softnet cannot handle due to resource limitations or the assigned quota.

Network Operational Status

Displays the operational status of the network interface, such as whether the interface is active, inactive, or in a problematic condition.
