5 minute input rate 2262000 bits/sec, 457 packets/sec
5 minute output rate 1282000 bits/sec, 477 packets/sec

what does this actually mean in terms of bandwidth used and is there an easy way of calculating it.

Many thanks

I believe this is telling you that in a 5 minute interval that the interface received 2.2 megabits/sec and transmitted 1.2 megabits/sec.

I usually set the time interval to 30 secs to give me a better perspective.

use this command on the interface level:

load-interval 30

Output will look like this:

30 second input rate 455328000 bits/sec, 84597 packets/sec
30 second output rate 499454000 bits/sec, 87853 packets/sec
