Difference in packet rate and throughput values seen in show session info" and "show system statistics""

When looking at the output from the commands "show session info" and "show system statistics session", the throughput values and the packet rate values might different. The command "show system statistics session" displays the aggregated packet rate and throughput values for all dataplanes and slots on the firewall. The command "show session info" displays a single dataplane's packet rate and throughput at a time. If using the command "set system setting target-dp none", the numbers displayed are from DP0 only. This can contribute to a big difference of values when comparing the two commands.
