New question #240882 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/240882

I'm trying to understand the Carbon-generated metrics for the relays. I have a 
setup with multiple relays receiving metrics from a load balancer. Using 
aggregated-consistent-hashing the relays then send the metrics to multiple 
aggregators.

I ran a test in which I keep sending additional metrics to the load balancer. 
At one point the number of metrics received at the relays exceeds the number of 
metrics sent to the aggregators. See the image below:

What does this mean? 

- Are metrics getting dropped by the relays before they are sent to the 
aggregators?
- Or are the relays sending batches of metrics thus reducing the *sent* metric 
reported?
