you can hold your mouse over the statistic to display a
popup with packet size details.
-
RX/TX Errors

Formatted
Displays data in megabytes (MB), kilobytes
(kB), gigabytes (GB), or terabytes (TB) – up to three
decimal places. For example, if data is displayed in GB,
bytes are not counted until they reach a total of 1 MB. If
1 GB is displayed, the next number that will be displayed
is 1.001 GB (1 GB + 1 MB = 1.001 GB).
