Comment 16 for bug 102921

What I don't understand is how it can say something like 50% network in use. If I'm on a 100MBps lan does that mean I am moving 50MBps. No, certainly not. It could be an issue of scaling the graph. Maybe when you mouse over the applet it looks back at what your capacity and usage is and makes the graph of that. So we would likely see near zero percent. Otherwise maybe it looks at peak traffic information and scales from there, 50% of peak network usage. I think my main question is how does it know how tall to make the graph of network usage given that I never have even approached 100% of my network's capacity.
