Well, it does. For example, our application displays 1 mbit/seconds, but pktshow/trafshow displays 2 mbit/seconds of bandwidth usage on the physical interface. And we are absolutely sure there are no another application which are accessing network, also we are 99.9% sure there are no errors / miscalculations in our application - the things are pretty straightforward. So the question for now is - are there any other ways to get the bandwidth usage information from HttpClient? And is the usage of ProtocolSocketFactory the recommended way to get such information?
