# Grafana Mimir Reads networking dashboard

The Reads networking dashboard shows receive and transmit bandwidth, in-flight requests, and TCP connections.
The dashboard isolates each service on the read path into its own section and displays the order in which a read request flows.

This dashboard requires [additional resources metrics](../../requirements/#additional-resources-metrics).

Use this dashboard for the following use cases:

- Monitor in-flight requests and TCP connections to identify any potential bottlenecks or connection issues between services.
- Visualize bandwidth to detect if any component is experiencing network saturation or unusual traffic patterns.

## Example

The following example shows a Reads networking dashboard from a demo cluster.
