I was surprised this weekend when I had gigabytes of traffic transferring between a MacBook and a NAS, but the Upload/Download rate was almost zero.

After troubleshooting a bit, I found the issue could be solved by disabling IPv6 on one of the end points or forcing SMB to use IPv4.

It seems like IPv6 traffic is not counted by the router for the Upload/Download rate.

Hi@slyronit,

Currently, we do not support traffic detection under IPv6. The temporary solution is to disable IPv6 to view accurate traffic.
You have posted a request in the feature request section. We will simultaneously feedback to the relevant departments for evaluation. We hope that this function can be optimized in the future.
Thank you again for your understanding and support.
