administrative changes to your network.

Purpose
Efficiency History was designed to provide a snapshot of your network’s current
efficiency. Running the efficiency test (over time) should provide similar values for
similar network loads from a single Observer PC. In other words, this test is dependent
on the network card in the Observer PC and the current load of the network. It is
designed to give an aggregate view of efficiency. The value should be about the same
when run in similar situations.
