How do we know the traffic on both side?

Hi, I'm using PhotonServer + LoadBalacingApi, currently trying to figure it out what kind of compression fits my archetype best. Is there a way we could know the precise packet size(including the header) we're transferring? I've seen a beautiful monitor window in Bolt, does PhotonServer/LoadBalacingApi provide similar data?

Hi, @zhuchun

Server side does not have such a window. it has counters. Look here: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/server/current/performance/photon-counters

also, there is a description here: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/server/current/reference/binary-protocol where you may find the size of every packet header

best,
