Title: Plotting Network Utilization with an NCS/AT
date: 3/29/91

If you use the Plot utility of NCS/AT System Software to plot curves or
histograms of Network Utilization (NU), you will get a line plot.  All other
audit information plots correctly as line, curve, or histogram, but Network
Utilization will plot only as a line, regardless of the graph type selected.

For example, the command plot -c BR 03 05 will plot Boot Request statistics
for March 5th as a curve.  The command plot -h CD 12 17 will plot Connection
statistics for December 17th as a histogram.  However, all of the commands

   plot -h NU 04 01
   plot -c NU 04 01
   plot -l NU 04 01

will plot a line graph of Network Utilization statistics for April 1.

This is not a software bug.  The statistics gathered for Network
Utilization occur so frequently that a curve or histogram would be no
more meaningful than a line plot.  Therefore, for NU only, the Plot
utility will graph a line, regardless of the graph type selected.
