PPP
DATA
USAGE
ESTIMATES
This
section
tracks
the
data
received
from
and
transmitted
to
the
cellular
network.
This
is
a
tool
that
may
be
used
to
estimate
network
usage.
These
totals
are
tracked
by
the
router.
Your
carrier
maintains
separate
statistics
from
which
your
billing
is
determined.
One
way
to
use
this
tool
is
to
track
usage
over
a
fairly
short
period
of
typical
usage.
The
total
then
can
be
extrapolated
to
estimate
longer
time
periods.
This
router
updates
these
statistics
once
approximately
every
30
seconds.
Press
the
Clear
button
to
reset
the
totals
to
0.
Rx
Bytes:
The
total
number
of
bytes
received
by
the
modem
from
the
cell
network.
All
statistics
will
be
cleared
automatically
if
this
count
exceeds
1
billion
(1,000,000,000).
Rx
Packets:
The
total
number
of
TCP
and
UDP
packets
received
by
the
modem
from
the
cell
network.
Rx
Errors:
The
number
of
corrupted
TCP
and
UDP
packets
received
by
the
modem
from
the
cell
network.
Rx
Packets
Dropped:
The
number
of
TCP
and
UDP
packets
received
by
the
modem
from
the
cell
network
that
were
not
accepted.
This
may
occur
due
to
memory
or
throughput
problems.
Tx
Bytes:
The
total
number
of
bytes
transmitted
by
the
modem
to
the
cell
network.
All
statistics
will
be
cleared
automatically
if
this
count
exceeds
1
billion
(1,000,000,000).
