If you have a look at printStats in Switch.C, the utilization
percentages are for the throttles which are essentially outlinks.

switch16 has 16 outlinks and 16 inlinks, so that's 32 links in total,
while the network stats only provide the utilization of 16 links of
this switch. In this case, what should these 16 links be, outgoing links?
Thanks,
Yu

They're not really bidirectional links. There are two physical
links, one in each direction. The utilization for one direction
is completely independent of the utilization in the other direction.

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

Two switches connected to each other will have two different
"physical"
links in opposite directions.
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.
