The data usage meter measures all data usage flowing through your cable modem. If you are using multiple computers and other devices behind your modem, such as on a home network, the meter will report data usage for all of those computers and devices combined. This also includes general DOCSIS-related IP traffic between the cable modem and the Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) which is not possible for you to measure on your own.
