Protocol Distribution View as a table shows frame and byte counts by protocol.
Utilization/Error View
Utilization/Error View is a simple strip chart that plots points for network utilization 
over time. 
The scale for network utilization changes on-the-fly when a new peak percentage is 
reached. The time scale also scales automatically as the resource is monitored over 
time. The graph has an optional watermark showing the highest utilization point. 
The errors plotted on the graph are the total number of CRC and Alignment errors. 
From Summary View, set the view preferences to 
Utilization/Error
 to see this view in 
the first tab. From Detail View, click on the 
Capture

Utilization
 strip chart. From Detail View, the 
Utilization/Error
 chart is presented with the tables of transmit or receive counters.
