We have all asked for years to please start putting BITS PER SECOND in XG. The flow monitor is a welcomed addition but network admins work with bits per second daily, not bytes per second.

Hi,
i was thinking the same when using the new flow monitor. Please change this.
Otherwise it is a nice tool to identify the most bandwidth consuming machines more easy. Definitely a step forward.
Absolutely - PLEASE follow the industry standard and use bits per second!
I haven't seen v18 yet, but are the bandwidth policies still using kilobytes per second? That too ought to be in bits.
Things like this not only make the product more difficult to use, it's also something that comes up when products/vendor solutions are considered within IT-departments. I'm a network engineer at a Fortune 500 company and I regularly run into people who scoff at Sophos because of quirks like using non-standard measurements.
Modifying such a feature should not require a lot of effort. Can someone from Sophos Staff take this under consideration?
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for the feedback. We value your input.
Your feature request will be added to our list for consideration in a future release.

Alok just so you know, this was already a global feature request from over 2 years ago. It is also something Alan T said was coming in V18.
