Subject: Re: relative traffic snapshots
Precedence: bulk

	Could someone please interpret? 'Flows/Sec'? Is that flows set up
per second? Over what averaging interval? Or perhaps it's flows seen to
be active over the most recent second? 'Packets/Flow'? I have a hard
time imagining that the average telnet session takes 40 packets, so
perhaps it's some kind of average? Since Packets/Sec seems to equal
Flows/Sec * Packets/Flow, I suppose we could deduce something or other,
but it's still fairly murky to an ignorant slob like me.

	Again, I do appreciate seeing real numbers like this, lest
I seem excessively grouchy.
