Answer

  • data_busy is the percentage of time that data ports sent or received data.
  • The data_busy which is one of the outputs of command statistics show-periodic is calculated as:

data_busy = (The accumulated time spent in data processing / Sampling period) * 100%

Example:

if the time spent for data processing(receiving and sending) is 400ms in 1 second sampling time period and then the data_busy is:

(400ms/1000ms)*100%=40%
