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. -mel via cell On Apr 7, 2009, at 4:25 PM, "Pietto Vasco" <[email protected]> wrote: In my summary of traffic I have the following numbers for two days Total Packets Processed229,542 Unicast47.3%108,482 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 Pietto L Vasco Director of Information Technology Wildwood Casino & Gold King Mountain Inn 719-689-7255 Direct 719-689-2814 Ext 1125 719-313-8732 Cell 719-689-9843 Fax _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
