RE: Understand network use

Hi Gerardo,

first thing to mention is that the Table Heads in Bandwith Usage Report are a little bit missleading

Numbers 4, 6, 8, 10

are TOTAL Numbers not some average or peak value

the %-Character is a new column

therefore 5,7,9,11

are percent values and show how many percent of traffic this line mades compared to the rest of the table.

IN=WAN to LAN

OUT=LAN to WAN

WAN=interfaces with default gateway

LAN=all other interfaces

5 refers to 4 (Percent IN)

7 refers to 6 (Percent OUT)

9 refers to 8 (Percent TOTAL (IN+OUT))

11 refers to 10 (Percent Connections)

[quote user="gerardo josic rodriguez paredes"]I do not understand why I have 29 GB of download and 1.5 GB of upload if in the network use report it indicates that I am using 6 Mbps in a stable way and the upload speed is totally unstable.[/quote]

6 MBps throughput 11 Hours Runtime ~= 29GB

Your Network Usage Diagram is kind of confusing - let me interpret:

i assume your Interfaces are labled correct

timeframe is 19:30 to 11:25

WAN Interface (eth1):

nearly no inbound Traffic (quite rare for WAN Links if they are used for websurfing, only common if this wan link is only used to publish your Servers)

lot of outbound Traffic (6Mbps)

LAN Interface (eth0):

Same ammount of inbound Traffic as outbound on WAN (6MBps)

do you have any internal client who use a NAT or WAF published Service hosted on an external IP which original destination resides in a DMZ connected to an internal Port which is not eth0?
