If you go to the Settings Page -> Network Performance Monitor Thresholds, under here you will see the value for Error and Warning for Interface Errors and Discards

Shouldn't these be a percentage of the actual data being processed over the interface instead of a an absolute numerical value? Carrier's use a percent value in their SLA. I can't tell if they are within SLA parameters if I can't set the value to match the provider.

Since NPM already collects the packets/bytes processed and the errors encountered, can percentage be added as an option for the error levels? A count of 1,000 errors in a 1,000,000 packets is much different than 1,000 errors in 1,000 packets, but both show up as the same today.

Do I need to submit this as a new feature request?
