Hi,

please provide details about what you mean? What is the expected vs
calculated throughput and how have you determined the calculation is wrong?

Please describe the steps how this problem can be reproduced.

A number of patches were proposed to integrate the throughput meter as
fallback when the throughput can not be determined via other means:

There were a few open issues that require further work. If you are interested
in spending time on this subject, I am happy to provide assistance.

Cheers,
