Sticky hosts should keep all hosts in ram. Try the -g is it? For sticky hosts. . Are you setting these on the command line or the prefs db? Also, if host A is local and downloaded 10MB from remote host B, then A should show 10MB rx and host B 10MB tx. In real life its way more complex cause each host talks to so many others. Ntop is pretty accurate so if properly configured you should be ok!

It just happened that the local hosts were more active than remote ones(as there are few local hosts accessing many remote hosts but only temporarily each) so the local side of the traffic looked heavier. This is weird though, or am I misunderstanding --sticky-hosts? <font size="1"> <div style='border:none;border-bottom:double windowtext 2.25pt;padding:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in'> </div> "This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.
