Hello all.

I am a system engineer  working for Japan IBM and quite a newbie for
Ganglia.
I have installed RPM image (ganglia-gmond-3.0.7-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm ) from  Dr
M. Perzl's site (http://www.perzl.org/ganglia)  on
IBM p5 p510 running with AIX 5.3 (5300-08-04)

However I found the report of bytes_in and bytes_out from Ganglia does not
match with the reality.

The followings are showing result from iperf, Ganglia and NMON for a case
where  I executed iperf client for 300 seconds on a different machine.
iperf and NMON show the similar results which are around 120MB/s, however,
the result from Ganglia shows much slower performance,  which is around
14MB/s.

Could anybody suggest me what I am missing or how I can solve the problem?
