The total amount of traffic across an interface is represented
by the number of input bytes plus the number of output bytes since
the statistics were last reset.
Normal, excessive or insufficient
rates can only be determined in relation to established baselines
and service level requirements. Throughput significantly in excess
of the established baseline indicates a change in network workload
and can signify an impending performance problem. Load balancing is
a possible solution. The probable cause of low or no throughput is
network congestion or configuration error.
This is a warning situation.
