    Total Bytes Displays the top ten RF Domain member application categories in respect to total data bytes passing through the RF Domain member WiNG managed network. These are only the administrator allowed application categories approved for proliferation within the RF Domain.
    Bytes Uploaded Displays the top ten RF Domain member application categories in respect to total data bytes uploaded through the RF Domain member WiNG managed network. If this category data is not aligned with application utilization expectations, consider allowing or denying additional categories or adjusting their precedence (priority).
