This is from the Glossary in the B/A Client book for ver 3.1

Network data transfer rate - the data transfer rate calculated by dividing the
total number of bytes transferred by the data transfer rate.

Aggregate data transfer rate - is calculated by dividing the total number of
bytes transferred by the elapsed processing time.

Seems to me that I read a better description of these terms someplace else, but
don't remember where.

Subject:  Network stats at end of backup/archive





ADSMv3 changed the network stats which appear at the end of a
Backup or Archive operation, from:

    Data transfer rate:

to:

    Network data transfer rate:
    Aggregate data transfer rate:

There's nothing I can find in the Backup/Archive manual to describe
just what the values mean.  Could someone point me to a description
of those rates, or provide an explanation?
