Mismatch in interface utilization data

That is not how it works

1. Total Average BPS (Transmit + Receive) = (((Average Transmit BPS) + (Average Receive BPS)) / 2 )

Which is correct

2. If I have to quote an example 

- Say suppose you are polling this information for 25 mins where polling interval is 5 mins each so 5 data points

- Interface A -  Transmit BPS values - 2,2,2,2,2 - Hence the Average Transmit BPS = 10 (2+2+2+2+2) / 5 = Hence finally value is 2

- Interface A -  Receive BPS values - 3,3,3,3,3 - Hence the Average Receive BPS = 15 (3+3+3+3+3) / 5 = Hence finally value is 3

- Total Average BPS = (((Average Transmit BPS) + (Average Receive BPS)) / 2 ) = (2+3)/2 = Hence finally value is 2.5

- Now lets use the values directly rather than deriving it from (Average Transmit BPS) and (Average Receive BPS) - there are 10 data points in total for - Total Average BPS

- Total Average BPS = ((2+2+2+2+2) + (3+3+3+3+3)) / 10 -> 5 data points for Transmit and 5 data points for Receive - when you calculate this its 2.5

Its not sum of  (Average Transmit BPS) + (Average Receive BPS) rather is the Total Average from both Transmit and Receive (both included).

Hope this helps

I hope you're doing well!

I’m reaching out for some guidance regarding the WAN utilization report I’m working on, as mentioned below.

I was created a report to present to our organization's management for capacity planning related to WAN utilization. I based this report on the default 95th percentile report but noticed that some of the data doesn’t align. Specifically, the calculation for total bps (Receive Bps + Transmit Bps / 2) doesn’t match the expected values. Even the averages aren't matching as anticipated.

Could you kindly help me identify what I may have done wrong, or suggest a more suitable report format for WAN utilization related to capacity planning?

Looking forward to your guidance!
