Subject: Re: [Ntop] Ntop bad broadcast Numbers

 

The percentage is by packet count, not size, and broadcast packets are small, 
so they're not 50% of your bandwidth. That many broadcasts might still indicate 
a bridge loop if there was a lot of network traffic during the period. But if 
there wasn't much traffic, 116,000 broadcasts might be completely normal over 
two days. A few hundred devices ARPing for 48 hours would make a mess of 
packets.

        In my summary of traffic I have the following numbers for two days

        Broadcast52.7%121,056

         

        The broadcast traffic of 52.7%  is what concerns me. I can’t see how 
this is true, my network should be coming to a halt, but it is running fine. 
Can someone clarify ?

         

        thanks
