net traffic

Hi,

Could someone put me in right direction?

in the network usage log what is the top client and what is the top server? does the top client means the incoming traffice and the top server means uit goinig traffice?

this really confuing and we cannot find any documantion on this?

is the total traffice that we see in the daily report is outgoing and incoming data? how can we know how much of this data is outgoing or incoming?

Any hint would be appreciated.

  • Another way to think of it is to consider that the client makes requests and the server responds.  So, you can have servers and clients both internally and externally.

  • Hi Bob,

    Thank you as alwyay for your reply,

    Any idea why in the report the totaal net traffic is not the same as totaal intern en extern traffice?

    Thanks

  • Without a picture, I'm not sure to which items you're referring, Aresh.  Maybe the following will help - when a client goes to Google, the browser sends packets to the Internal interface where they are counted as incoming, when the packets are sent to Google, they are counted as outgoing from the External interface, thus appearing to count the traffic twice.  Was that your question?

    Cheers - Bob

  • Hi Bob,

    Thank you for the reply,

    Your explanation regarding the double couning is helpful.

    I upload the graph of yesterday daliy report, why the traffice processed said 24.4 gb? how utm come to this number?

    the report says:

    network usage:

    Traffic process: 24..4 Gb

    eth0(lan): 30.45 gb

    eth1(wan) : 15.80

    eth3: 2.42

  • Hi Aresh,

    I checked the screenshots you shared. I am unable to figure out where did you discovered traffice processed said 24.4 Gb ?

    Thanks
