hi all

I use Historic Data to generate monthly report, in csv file there is a column is XXX (speed)(RAW) ,

I want to know what is that unit ? and how to calculate to "speed" ?

ex: 

Date Time	                Moo_In (speed)	Moo_In (speed)(RAW)
12/12/2017 02:40:00 - 02:45:00	1 Mbit/s	66812.3111
12/12/2017 02:45:00 - 02:50:00	1 Mbit/s	85902.6034
12/12/2017 02:50:00 - 02:55:00	1 Mbit/s	65861.4508
12/12/2017 02:55:00 - 03:00:00	1 Mbit/s	87006.6122
12/12/2017 03:00:00 - 03:05:00	1 Mbit/s	73011.741
12/12/2017 03:05:00 - 03:10:00	0.50 Mbit/s	62489.035
12/12/2017 03:10:00 - 03:15:00	1 Mbit/s	65351.1812
12/12/2017 03:15:00 - 03:20:00	1 Mbit/s	80024.542
12/12/2017 03:20:00 - 03:25:00	0.46 Mbit/s	58087.8443

Hi Peter,

The raw speed is basically the Packet Δ between this and the last scan, i.e. the amount of packets that went through in five minutes (or the configured interval).

hi Stephan Thanks for reply , but I still not really understand

for example

Date Time	                Moo_In (speed)	Moo_In (speed)(RAW)
12/12/2017 02:40:00 - 02:45:00	1 Mbit/s	66812.3111

So (1) is this means in 5 minutes there are 66812.3111 packets(variable) ? (2) and "packets" should be an integer ? (3) how to calculate from "66812.3111" to "1 Mbit/s"

please help me , thanks

I don't know why, but i think speed (raw) value is equal bytes per second You can use: value*8 to convert to bit/s value*8/1000 to convert to Kbit/s value*8/1000000 to convert to Mbit/s
