====== IP Traffic - Real-time ======

The IP Traffic - Real-Time menu displays real-time bandwidth being used on //selected network IP addresses/ranges//.

Do not confuse this with with the //Bandwidth///[[:bwm-realtime|Real-Time]] function, which collects bandwidth usage based on //a specific FreshTomato interface//.

\\ **IPs currently on graphic:** This lets you select the IP addresses/ranges whose bandwidth data you wish to display.

**Hidden Addresses:** Here, you can select IP addresses whose bandwidth is currently not displayed on the graph to be measured/graphed.

The graph has a 10-minute window, with a 2-second interval. Thus, it displays a maximum of 10 minutes of bandwidth data, refreshed a maximum of every 2 seconds.

 \\

**RX** numbers show incoming bandwidth (to the LAN).

**TX** numbers show outgoing bandwidth (to the WAN).

 \\ **Hours:**

**Avg:**  This applies a percentile to the image. This shows how a data point compares to the total distribution over time.

**Max:**

  * Uniform - Choosing this scales graphs to the maximum value recorded on all interfaces.
  * Per If (Per Interface) - Choosing this scales graphs based on data from one interface only.

**Unit: **

  * kbit/KB - This toggles between displaying volume in kilobits/Kilobytes (1,000). 
  * Mbit/MB - This toggles the display to volume to be expressed in megabits/Megabytes (1,000,000).

**Display: **

  * Solid - Choosing this option graphs bandwidth usage with a solid area.
  * Line - Choosing this option graphs bandwidth using a single line representing maximum values.

**Color:**  This switches between various pre-specified color schemes for the graph.

**[reverse]:** This reverses the graph's color scheme. For example, a device traced in blue is traced in orange and vice versa.

 \\

**Configure:** Clicking this takes you to the //Administration///[[admin-iptraffic|IP Traffic Monitoring]] menu. There, you can enable/disable IP Traffic monitoring, and configure settings.

 \\

//Cursor-Tracking Readout: //Bandwidth graphs feature a a //Cursor-Tracking Readout//.

When you mouse over the graph, the graph displays the following at the top right corner:

  * Day of Week
  * Time
  * Bandwidth usage.

These update as you move your mouse.

The Cursor-Tracking Readout disappears after 5 intervals: that is, 10 seconds in //Real-Time//, 10 minutes in //Last 24 Hours//, and so on.

 \\ //Mouse-Click Readout//: Bandwidth graphs also have a //Mouse-Click Readout//: If you click on the graph, the date/time/bandwidth numbers display beside the mouse cursor. This readout is static. It does not update with graph movement or scaling.
