      Hello,

      I'm looking for some help on properly reading the RRD Graphs in pfSense 2.1. Under the Quality tab my first two graphs show 50% for packet loss. Does this mean I'm really losing 1 out 2 packet? The router connects to (3) VPNS and the Internet for the office.

      Can I determine if they are lost from VPN to VPN (site1/main to site3)? I ask because one remote office has always complained about slow access to the main site. I installed (2) pfSense routers because I believed I could get more information out of them. Now my issue is I am getting information I cannot fully interpret.

      Thanks!

        more info…

        The headings are

        pfsense.localdomain GW_WAN Quality - 8 hrs - 1 minute average

        and

        pfsense.localdomain GW_WAN:: Quality - 1 day - 5 minute average

          Can someone look at their RRD Graphs and just respond with their stats? I'm trying to find a baseline.

            I had what seems like a similar issue. The status->gateway and RRD graphs would report bogus loss percentages. They would report 30% for IPv4 and 20% for IPv6. When I pinged the gateways manually, 0% loss. My solution was to go to status->services and restart apinger. After that it reported realistic loss percentages.

              Wow, thanks. Sure enough after the service restart it is down to 0%.
