I’ve always wondered whether network interfaces that have these flashing lights flash as a gimmick or do they actually indicate the flow of traffic? Perhaps one flash per packet in or out? I wish I could remember what my call up modem looked like to make a historical comparison too.

Says your switch handles 7.4 million packets per second. How fast is your light flashing?
Darn it, I counted 7.3 million blinks, therefore my ISP must be throttling my speeds joke
I laughed hard at this. Thanks! XD
But in all seriousness, I’ll record (for fun, because I’m damaged by this hobby…) the LEDs with my smartphone camera tomorrow, which has a slow motion function, and get back to you after either failing or succeeding to calculate the BPS (Blinks Per Second).
