      Good morning. I'm seeing a minor display issue on the 2.5.0 Dashboard. I am streaming some TV now, and the graph display seems to show 1/2 the bandwidth being used. Actual BW is ~6 Mbps average, but the graph display sometimes shows ~3 Mbps, other times ~6. Certainly not a critical case for me anyway, but thought you might be interested. Some screenclips below. "Status/Traffic Graph" also seems to display the same behavior. Single home user here, single device streaming, plus this web session only.

        So I guess no one sees this happening? Displaying 1/2 real BW, then displays correctly after refreshing the page? Same streaming traffic, seconds apart.

          "Half" seems new. I've seen posts in the past about "twice" the actual bandwidth in places, and at least in 2.4.5 saw that myself in Status/Queues if traffic shaper is on. Do you have any packages installed, maybe Snort?

          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            Thanks for the reply. No to Snort. Home user, so it's just me. No torrents or anything, just my streamer box and the stuff I'm typing on. 6 Mbps is what I have calculated my streaming uses. I can watch a channel, the graph displays 3Mb, refresh displays 6Mb. No other changes. It's not like it's bursting. When I see a burst, like when changing channels, if it's currently showing 3Mb, it will burst to 15Mb. If it's showing 6Mb, it bursts to 30Mb. More of a curiosity than a fatal flaw.

            Packages : Cron, Iperf, Mailreport, Notes, Nut, OpenVPN, pfBlockerNG-devel, RRD_Summary, Service Watchdog, System_Patches

            Ps - No shaping. I used to use it when I was seeing if I could scrape by on a slower plan, but that's gone and a fresh install of 2.5 in it's place.

            These clips taken back to back with a refresh in between.
