[Bug 845775] Re: gnome system monitor shows network upload speed that is inaccurate

 

I think the math is right, furthermore my original comment was about the
roll-over tool tip.  When I open the monitor the rate is accurate but it
does not match the tooltip.  See attached screenshot for evidence.

Title:
  gnome system monitor shows network upload speed that is inaccurate

Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  when transfering a file from local to remote host via eth0, rcp shows
  a transfer speed of 4MB/s.  Checking /proc/net/dev confirms a transfer
  speed of about 5MB/s, and calculating the transfer rate from the ETA
  and filesize confirms a transfer rate of about 4 megabytes / second.
  However, when rolling the mouse over the network window of the gnome
  system monitor shows a speed of about 1/5-1/10 of that reported by
  /proc and rcp (or scp) of about 500 KB/s.

  gnome-system-monitor version 2.28.1-1ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 10.10

  thanks,
  Peter
