Thanks for the reply. I don't understand the meaning of the link utilization in the stats. Should it be the average utilization of both incoming link and outgoing link? For example, if switch0_link7 is connected to switch2_link 4, and both of the links are bidirectional(which means switch0_link7(or switch2_link4) is composed of 2 links, one is incoming and the other is outgoing). If this is the case, then the two links of the two switches should have the same utilization.
Thanks,
Yu

But why should the link utilizations be the same ? The traffic that is
going in either direction has to be exactly the same for this.
