Simply put the top graph (blue/yellow): A vertical line is painted for every rendered frame. if the line is blue and going down from the baseline that indicates a steady transition of frames from one to the next. A yellow line going up from the baseline means the frames are not being fully rendered in time. The bottom graph (green/yellow/red): A vertical line is painted for every received snapshot. If the line is green it indicates properly received snapshots, with the height of the bar proportional to the ping. If the bar is yellow it indicates that the snapshot was held back because it hit the rate limit. If the line is red it means the snapshot was dropped by the network...Lots of thanx goes out to hacker, Erik, TeoH, and Wilka |
