Mbits In/Out in FMS Admin Console

Title
Mbits In/Out in FMS Admin Console

Content

When you use the FMS admin console and select Manage Servers then choose the Connections tab there is a column for Mbits In/Out. Should this be Kbits In/Out? At the moment my server is running about 80 streams and most of our content is encoded at around 500 Kbps. 80 x 500 Kbps = 40,000 Kbps. The value currently displayed for Mbits Out in the console column is 36,816.63. I think that's Kbits not Mbits - right? If it were Mbits it should show 36.816.

@jegrossman...I suppose it's possible that the admin console is displaying the wrong unit. This number can be gotten by using the getServerStats() method of the admin API:

This method will return total bytes in and bytes out, as well as the bandwith in and out. Is it possible that the number you're seeing represents total bytes in and out, and not bandwith? I'll see what else I can dig up in the mean time.

Thanks. I can see the bandwidth under the details tab in the admin console. It doesn't match the Mbits In/Out display under Coneections. I'm not sure what the Mbits In/Out represents. It doesn't seem to jibe with any calculation I do based on the readings in the console. Maybe it's displaying the right unit but I don't understand the formula.

@jegrossman...also, I just found out that the admin console displays this data for anything BUT RTMFP/UDP.

We're not using RTMFP/UDP right now so that wouldn't affect us.
