I think we only supported layer 3 nodes with the Throughput Widget, so routers, servers, PCs, etc. but not hubs/switches.

In the Tcl/Tk code, getstats_link_ifname() looks for "NETWORK" nodes on either side of a link. If the node is a "LINK" type (the hub/switch node) it is skipped. This function would need to be fixed to get the proper interface name mapping. The widget periodically reads /proc/net/dev for stats.

GUI development is now focused on the Python/Tk GUI. So I wouldn't expect a fix to the old GUI, unless you are willing to update the code and submit a PR.

I just checked the Python GUI and it has the same issue. The Python GUI doesn't even display a throughput label VirtualBox_Test-vm_core_04_05_2021_11_25_30
