15.9.2 FC_MR-4 Utilization Window
The Utilization window shows the percentage of Tx and Rx line bandwidth used by the ports during
consecutive time segments. The Utilization window provides an Interval drop-down list that enables you
to set time intervals of 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day. Line utilization is calculated with the
following formulas:
Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 24) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 24) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction
for the port (that is, 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps). The maxBaseRate for FC_MR-4 cards is shown in Table 15-27.
Note Line utilization numbers express the average of ingress and egress traffic as a percentage of capacity.

of unavailable credits.
8b10bInvalidOrderedSets 8b10b loss of sync count on Fibre Channel line
side.

1. For 1 Gbps of bit rate being transported, there are only 850 Mbps of actual data
because of 8b->10b conversion. Similarly, for 2 Gbps of bit rate being transported,
there are only 1700 Mbps (850 Mbps x 2) of actual data.
