Hello Folks,

I've been happily collecting netflow for a while and decided to try
collecting from some devices providing sflow.  Once setup the
collection seems to work well.  My issue is that the traffic (Bits/s)
graph seems to hit a ceiling of ~125.8 Mb/s.  At first I thought
something was wrong with the switches, except that showing the stats
on the interface that I am collecting sflow from seems to indicate
that I am moving much more data than this (all over, but upwards to
and above 200 Mb/s).

It may be that I am not correctly understanding sflow, but I see
reference to it being used for metering/billing, which suggests some
accuracy exists.  Currently I am collecting ingress/egress on the
uplink ports of the switches (some are 1G, some 10G), a sampling size
of 1000, and an interval of 2.  It seems to me that this would be a
bit accurate.

The other graphs/statistics appear to be correct, and they do not
appear to be hitting a ceiling.

I am continuing to dig and learn, but has anyone else seen this before?


Thanks,
James
