Network: TCP Packets

This statistic shows TCP packets/second.

When to Check TCP Packets

Rarely. Because packets usually map to protocol operations, it is often more useful to examine these using the Protocol statistics (for example, Protocol iSCSI operations, which allows other useful breakdowns based on the protocol).
