Hello guys, I have a linux box configured as linux bridging and running ntop. I have this box positioned between a WAN router and a LAN switch, like follows:
PC<->SW<->FR1<-Link1->Telco Network<-Link2->FR2<->NtopBox<->SW SW: Ethernet switch FR: Frame relay router Link1: 64 kbps Link2: 512 kbps * There are ten 64kbps links connected to FR2, due to its superior capacity. My doubt is regarding the "Peak" data available in the Network load page. Im considering all traffic (send+receive). I got a peak value of 264 kbps from an address (pc) that is behind of Link 1 (64kbps). The explanation about the peak values, at the end of the page, is that this value is obtained each ten seconds. I cant realize how is possible this 264 kbps peak value, considering the physical limitation of link1. As Im looking for the all traffic (send+receive) and considering the link1 as full-duplex and synchronous, I understand that is possible, when the pc is sending and receiving (same time) bursts, to see values near from 128 kbps, but not above it. Questions: 1. Is my understanding of this ntop value (throughput peak) correct? 2. Has someone experimented something like that ? In advance, thank you!
