How is the speed of an interface link calculated in OpManager's Business View?

In OpManager Business View, the speed of an interface link is calculated using the average of the interface's incoming speed (InSpeed) and outgoing speed (OutSpeed). This calculated value is used to represent the effective link speed between connected devices in the Business View topology.

Formula Used for Speed Calculation

The interface link speed is calculated using the following formula:

Speed = (InSpeed + OutSpeed) / 2

Sample Calculation

Consider the following interface values:

  • InSpeed = 200 Mbps
  • OutSpeed = 300 Mbps

Applying the formula:

Speed = (InSpeed + OutSpeed) / 2
       = (200 + 300) / 2
       = 500 / 2
       = 250 Mbps

Therefore, the interface link speed displayed in the Business View will be: 250 Mbps

Additional Information: The calculated interface speed helps administrators understand the average throughput capacity of a link between devices in the network topology. This value is primarily used for visualization and traffic representation within OpManager Business Views.
