"A scatter plot shows data volume versus radio link throughput per connection. Throughput in kilobits per second is on the x-axis, and data volume in bytes is on the y-axis. Points cluster at low volumes and spread more at higher throughput. Curves for all connections, the 90th percentile, and the 10th percentile rise with throughput, most sharply at the upper end."
