# 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.
