• Configure Value represents the value of "additional network memory"
• System Value represents the pre-allocated memory for network buffers based on "user connections"
• Run Value represents the current memory in use (incorrect, it should be the same as Configure Value)
• Num_free shows 0, which is incorrect
• Num_active is the current Network Buffers in use
• Pct_act is incorrect is this is reporting the in use is fully allocated
• Max_Used is the high water mark for memory in use.  This is often incorrect as well.

Example of correct output
