Dear adies and Gentlemen,

With ntop snapshot of 10 Jun 2002, on a FreeBSD cache server (squid: one 
upstream peer via an ethernet connection), the percentages look fine but 
the traffic volumes are not credible.

Here's an example. Ntop-02-06-10 is running on the host Squid, the proxy 
cache. It serves about 800 local MS Win clients running at 10 Mbps. It 
has a 100 Mbps ethernet connection to the parent cache.

This data has been accumulated only since 00:00:00 11 Jun 2002 yet there 
is nearly 28 GB of data and although the Cache (the host named 
squid.aipo.gov.au) uses port 3128 to talk to local clients (hence there 
should be a large volume of other traffic) there is only 610.6 MB of 
HTTP traffic (and since all traffic between this cache and the sole 
parent should be HTTP this seems to small).

Further, after clicking the squid host :-

Does not show where the 28 GB of traffic is going.

L-R and R-L tables do show GB volumes between the cache and the parent, 
but only about 10 GB.

Finally, the host foundry is a load balancer for DNS traffic yet it is 
showing 669.5 MB of other IP traffic.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
