Hi,
I have been looking through the forum and could not find this answer.
I have been monitoring multicast packets on a few switches bur I am confused on what I am seeing. The graphs shows that the port is getting hit with 500 million packets which is impossible and the when I open the graph to look at the details, the data is .3945 as an example.
How should I be reading this? How many multicast packets are hitting this port?
Thanks for any help.

Little "m" is milli, as in 1/1000.

Re: Reading Network Interface Graph
Thats good to know! Is "u" microseconds?
I am still confused on how to read this graph though. When the left side says packets/sec and I see .5588 in the details, how many packets are actually hitting the port?

Yes and no. Yes micro, seconds depends.
