## Symptoms

- Output of '`fgate stat`' command or '`cpstat fg`' command on a Security Gateway returns bandwidth values that do not match the bandwidth values defined in SmartDashboard - Security Gateway object - 'Topology' pane - interface properties - 'QoS' tab - "Inbound Active" field or "Outbound Active" field.

## Cause

In SmartDashboard, when configure the bandwidth values are in **bits per second**. Meaning, if we set 100 Mbps, then it equals to 100 x 1 000 000 bits per second = 100 000 000 bits per second.

Output of the '`fgate stat`' command or '`cpstat fg`' command provides the bandwidth values in **Bytes per second**. Meaning, if we set 100 Mbps in SmartDashboard, then it equals to \[(100 x 1 000 000 bits per second) / 8\] Bytes per second = \[100 000 000 bits per second\] Bytes per second = 125 000 000 Bps.

Note: In Networking, the values are measured in multiplications of 1000 and not of 1024. Refer to <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput>.
