Data Volume (in packets)

Data Volume (in packets) indicates the total number of packets seen on a monitored network. The report includes zero-byte packets such as TCP acknowledgments.

Use this view with the Data Volume view to get an idea of the average packet size traversing your network. This is useful in identifying problem areas or attacks because many small packet sizes might indicate a denial of service attack.
