[![Network Performance Chart](images/vmware_network_performance_chart.png "Network Performance Chart")](images/vmware_network_performance_chart.png){.toggle scale=50} ## Host The following table provides information on predefined views and counters that apply to hosts.

Chart View	Counter	Measurement Unit	Description
Network Usage	Network Receive Rate	KB/s	Rate at which data is received across each physical NIC instance on a host. The counter represents the bandwidth of the network.
	Network Transmit Rate	KB/s	Rate at which data is transmitted across each physical NIC instance on a host.
	Network Usage	KB/s	Network utilization, sum of data received and transmitted across all physical NIC instances connected to a host.
Network Transfer Rate (Packets)	Received Packets per Second	Number	Average number of packets received per second across each physical NIC instance on a host.
Network Transfer Rate (Packets)	Transmitted Packets per Second	Number	Average number of packets transmitted per second across each physical NIC instance on a host.
Dropped and Error Packets	Packet Receive Errors	Number	Number of packets with errors received.
	Packet Transmit Errors	Number	Number of packets with errors transmitted.
	Receive Packets Dropped	Number	Number of receives dropped.
	Total Errors	Number	Total number of packets with errors received and transmitted.
	Total Packets Dropped	Number	Total number of dropped packets.
	Transmit Packets Dropped	Number	Number of transmits dropped.

## Virtual Machine The following table provides information on predefined views and counters that apply to VMs.

Chart View	Counter	Measurement Unit	Description
Network Usage	Network Receive Rate	KB/s	Rate at which data is received across the vNIC instance on a VM. The counter represents the bandwidth of the network.
	Network Transmit Rate	KB/s	Rate at which data is transmitted across the vNIC instance on a VM.
	Network Usage	KB/s	Network utilization, sum of data received and transmitted across all vNIC instances on a VM.
Network Transfer Rate (Packets)	Received Packets per Second	Number	Average number of packets received per second by each vNIC instance on a VM.
Network Transfer Rate (Packets)	Transmitted Packets per Second	Number	Average number of packets transmitted per second by each vNIC instance on a VM.

[For objects that are parent to ESXi hosts and VMs, Veeam ONE Client displays rollup values. Charts for folders, clusters, datacenters, vCenter Servers display rollup values for all hosts in the container. Chart for a resource pool displays rollup values for all VMs in the resource pool.]{.Small_Text}
