Real Bandwidth usage - Control Center which one is correct?

Hi All,

After years of XG usage, I still cannot understand in the CC which graph is the correct one. I only have one user role and look at the graphs that CC reports:

Looking at the command line output:

system diagnostics utilities bandwidth-monitor

it reports like "bandwidth graph". I have a 100Mb at home and I never reach more than 8 Mb behind XG. Yes I know about IPS, Web Proxy and Anti-malware scanning but graphs are not reporting correct information at all. This is the feeling I have.

What about other guys on Community?

Regards

  • HI Luk,

    like you those graphs always puzzled me, the one on rule count shows 15 to 20mb/s download, I only have a 4.5mb/s link.

    If you want some extra strange graphs click on the little icon in the WAN link management next to each WAN connection. Now one of my links has IPv4 and IPv6 and funnily the graph shows the same amount of data on both.

  • Thanks Ian.

    It seems that Sophos does not care it.

    Explaining to customers which graphs to look at is difficult!

    An official KB should be published!

  • Hi Luk,

    thinking about the graph with the firewall rules active etc, I suspect could only be used to indicate there is traffic on the networks. If there is a lot of traffic the graph grows and I wonder if the volume shown is in reality the traffic the XG is sending  to the monitoring PC to update the various tables?
