Traffic Graph - WAN dominates . . . why?

Just a question - using latest 23.7.3 - when showing traffic graph either on dashboard or direct - when I choose WAN interface - it drowns out all other interfaces (not transparent) - but if I turn WAN off - I get all other interfaces shown (they don't cover each other and are transparent) - is this by design?!? 

Attached are two screenshots to demonstrate

Thanks in advance . . .

Hi,

They are all transparent.

What you see I believe is just the fact that the traffic on WAN (aggregation of all other interfaces/VLANs towards internet) has highe throughput in order to show it on a graph the Y axis need to be adjusted to accommodate that so the Steps on Y are bigger than is the ratio on the other interfaces.

Look at the graphs again, you can see that the max throughput at the time is 700Kbit, but WAN actually receives 25Mbit

Thanks!  That's what I though as well - So when a device is streaming from the internet - the WAN interface simply drowns out all other traffic . . . I tested this by making sure that nothing is streaming and you are right - the WAN color is transparent as well  ;D

Nothing to see here - back to the regular program  ;)

Actually any interface can do that :)

In my Home Network between Vlans - InterVlan traffic is higher than what is my WAN Internet connection. So many times I can see 2G throughout between several Host towards a specific Server and WAN is just lost on the bottom.
