Reading the Performance Gauges

The performance gauges display statistical information about the selected
device. By looking at the gauges, you can quickly determine if there are
problems with the network utilization, collisions, the number of broadcasts
per second, or the number of error packets. The gauges are refreshed every
five seconds.
