Active Streams Streams active during a selected time period
Average Bitrate Average amount of data transferred in a unit of time, calculated in terms of bits per second. It is expressed in kbps, Mbps, or Gbps.

Note, that values reported do not include manifest requests.
Average Latency Indicates the delay between Encoder and Entry Point when sending a unit of media payload.
Average Packet Loss Measures the quality of connection between encoder and entry point.
Provides connection level ratio of data packets (bytes) lost to the data packets (bytes) sent by the encoder.
Average Path Time Average time taken from source to destination.
Error Rate Rate of errors occurring in a unit of time, expressed as a percentage.
