  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question How to determine peak traffic throughput

Mike99

Basic Pleskian
Hi there,

I am trying to figure out, what was my peak network throughput last month.

In latest Plesk, I opened Advanced Monitoring, Network, I selected date range 1-30 April and this is what I get.

Someone with network background, please enlighten me on how to calculate packets/sec to Mbps? I am looking into TX - transmit out, I don't care about RX.

How big is the packet size anyway? Does it matter? How do I figure out?

My peak interface-eth0:if_packets:tx is 3992 packets/sec? What does it mean in Mbps?

Is there any other tool, where I can read peak/maximum values? A tool called vnstat gives me only averages.
 
Most common packet size is 1,500 bytes. Can go up to 9K.
3992 packets per second * 1,500 bytes per packet * (1 Mb / 1,000,000 bytes) = 6 Mbps
... I think
