Ok, so you want me to explain you the netgraph 3 from cstrike.

Number 1 is the Frames Per Second graph
Number 2 is the Ping (scoreboard)


The IN & OUT both have 3 components, starting from left to right:
3. The size of the game packet in bytes being sent and received (Not sure if this includes UDP Segment + IP Packet overhead)
4. The Average amount of KiloBytes Per Second being Sent or Received of GameData + UDP Segment + IP Packet overhead
5. The Average amount of Updates being Sent or Received per Second
If you multiply 3. by 5. and then divide by 1000 you will get a close approximation of the value of 4. which includes rounding errors because 4. and 5. are only averages. So using the numbers we see above, for IN we get (154*102.4/1000)=15.7696 with the value shown in the picture above for net_graph 3 being 15.16. Meh, close enough. :)
