Formatting traffic in Interface statistics widget

Make that change yourself to /etc/inc/util.inc is easy on a test system.
The file in the PR;
https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/2592/files
The file itself:
https://github.com/phil-davis/pfsense/blob/patch-1/src/etc/inc/util.inc
The raw (text) version of the file (which you can copy from and paste into Diag->Edit File):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phil-davis/pfsense/patch-1/src/etc/inc/util.inc
or however you like to do it…

Clear. Patch applied, test is running. After test is complete, I will post results in this reply.

Update 1: Notice the negative numbers in de graph. This also happen before patch. Maybe due i386 version. Negative number seems related to up/down graph from ~3 Gbit -> 0 and back.
                    The traffic is from long running iPerf session. On client and server iPerf side the up/down behavior does not occur. Traffic is constant ~3Gbit/sec

Another way to patch pfSense for any pending pull request is to add .diff to the end of the pull request URL in a web browser, then use the System Patches package to create a patch using the resulting URL, Path Strip Count 2 (for 2.3 - 1 for 2.2 and earlier), Base Directory /. Fetch the patch, apply it and reboot pfSense.

In this case, https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/2592.diff becomes https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/pfsense/pfsense/pull/2592.diff

Yes, it's working, see attachment.

I'm now wondering how long it will take for you reach petabytes(?)!

???

[M_Devil]

Approx: (1 PByte * 8 (bits) * 1024 (=Tb) * 1024 (=Gb) * 2 (=speed/sec)) / 60 (minutes) / 60 (hours) / 24 (days) = ~ 48,5 days
8)

Merged, thanks Phil!

Generally numbers are formatted right. My 1 cent

2.3-BETA (amd64)

Updated my bare-metal production pfSense-box to above version, and did recheck (download session for 7,5 hours non-stop to reach 1 TiB  ;D).
As can be seen in attachments in the end TiB is shown, but not before 1024 GiB. I suspect it has a relation with 1000 vs 1024 notation, but not sure if this is correct.

[phil.davis]

Yes, 1015 Gib is less than 1TiB. So is does GiB up to 1023.99, then would switch to TiB.
Same applies for 1023.99 MiB then 1 GiB …
