I see your point here and agree. You are right, I just assumed after seeing bytes that it's the amount of data transferred by this flow, but not per time interval, because nowhere in the table the time is mentioned. The only place I see the time reference is on the graph (KB/s). In the case of showing immediate link utilization, bits are more preferable, but I thought the export of flow info is delayed anyway, so you can't see what flow utilizes the link until the flow is finished. I might be wrong though. __________________________________________________________ Andrey Gordon | Integrity Interactive | Network Engineer | +1.781.398.3518
