The traffic page shows the amount of data transferred through the Merkato network control point by the data stream associated with this user. Three graphs are provided to represent three time scales:
All three graphs are based on five-minute sample intervals. Merkato gathers traffic statistics in both the input and output direction every five minutes. Each five-minute sample represents an average over that five-minute period. In other words, peaks lasting less than five minutes are not accurately represented in the graphs. These five-minute samples are used directly in the daily graph. These values are then combined into longer averages for the weekly and monthly graphs.
The green-shaded portion of the graph indicates traffic in the incoming direction. Traffic indicated by the blue line is in the outgoing direction. If you are unclear which direction corresponds to “in” and “out” with respect to your marketed service The actual bandwidth that is offered for sale in Merkato.
