Sent vs Received data

[Disflippant]

I know I'm more paranoid than knowledgable about networking and what not, but should my traffic summary consist of more sent data than received data whilst browsing the net? I'm using the MTN fastlink datacard and dashboard.

no, it is normally the other way around. unless you are uploading files or sending emails.

 

[werner]

normally should be around 80 received/20 sent for your average browsing sessions, assuming 100 to mean the whole session

Sent is from your pc. received is from the ISP side.

e.g. my sent at the moment is 297,390 bytes and my received is 1, 732, 034 bytes. so Received is about 6 times more
