Channels by Address
The Channels by Address graph shows the volume of data transmission in kilobytes that has
been recorded on each channel in the selected radio band. It also provides a rough breakdown
of the transmission by the type of address (.i.e., broadcast, multicast, and unicast) that was
used for the transmission. The X-axis shows the available channels and the type of address on
each channel; the Y-axis shows the volume of data in kilobytes being transmitted. See Figure
7-9.
