Traffic graph reports double the real amount on some interfaces.

I also have this issue. This has been discussed several times, see for example this https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=75343.0..
Probably this is a known error (https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/3314). It seems that the error lies in the OS and developers discuss that this might be fixed with the upcoming version 2.2.

Same issue here using the built-in ethernet ports on our super micro server - LAN shows twice out traffic as WAN in traffic. No VLANs.
-
Also seeing this problem - testing upload bandwidth with iperf, the wan graph is showing double the outgoing traffic that the lan graph is showing coming in.

I'm seeing this exact issue in the latest 2.2 snapshots (screenshot attached). It also seems to be directional: when I send traffic from a server in my DMZ to a machine on my LAN, the DMZ registers the correct level but the LAN doubles he traffic. When I send traffic in the reverse direction, the opposite occurs (again, see screenshot below).
The server in my DMZ is running off a 2-port LACP connection, and both networks are using VLANs (which seems to be the factor that causes the issue).
Looks like the redmine bug has already been updated to reflect the fact that this isn't fixed in 2.2, but FYI.

Not having this issue in 2.1.4 just for info.

Didn't you uncheck the box "Get a free copy of your private data in the iCloud" ;D :P

I am seeing the same thing on my system. I am not using VLAN's at all. I am on Version 2.1.5 and my hardware is NetGate. If I look at the RRD graphs everything is accurate. It is only on the Traffic Graphs.
Thanks

Also seeing this on 2.1.5 on an Atom D510 based system with onboard LAN (em1) and WAN (em0) ports for an traffic on the OUT of a port. Specifically, when running a speedtest via speedtest.net:
On the download test, the IN on WAN shows a match to the speedtest while the OUT on LAN shows double.
During the upload test, the IN on LAN shows matching speed while OUT on WAN shows double.
Screen grabs of speediest and bandwidth graphs attached.

No it's not. At least not the only cause. There are several reports in this thread alone that state they are not using VLANs…
Maybe we can find a pattern if we start to give more detailed info of the affected (and non-affected) interface combinations?
pfSense: 2.1.5-RELEASE (amd64) (and 2.1.4-RELEASE (amd64) and 2.1.3-RELEASE (amd64))
WAN: Intel 82579L (on Intel DQ77KB)
LAN: Intel 82579LM (on Intel DQ77KB)
VLAN: No
Symptom: outgoing traffic reported 2x in both directions (upload and download) -
It's a known bug in the underlying FreeBSD.

Can you give a link to the bug?
It would be good to fix up little crud like this. It puts off people new to pfSense when something like the traffic graph shows an obviously wrong figure. -

I have the same issue. WAN shows correct speed but my VLAN does not, unless it is running at a lower speed of say 30 Mbps.
Anyone also notice labels don't match!

Not sure which labels you are referring to.
VLAN_4 interface has a lot of traffic going out, and host (client) IP 10.0.8.20 is receiving a lot of traffic in. That is what happens when something is downloading - pfSense sends a lot of traffic out the LAN/VLAN… and the client receives it in.
(Of course there is the double thing happening there in the graph plot also) -
But this is exactly the point (On internal VLAN)
The graph you saw in previous post was for inbound (downloaded) traffic that you are seeing (albeit doubled).
The table on the right is correct, but the graph and top left labels are reversed to the table
To help illustrate this I waited until I had a distinctive spike that also did not obscure the chart. WAN is spot on, so suspect someone reversed the table for LAN internal connections, but forgot the labels in top left?
Do you see the label mismatch?
-
That what I was trying to explain. "In" and "Out" are done from the point of view of the device concerned.
Out of pfSense LAN goes in to a LAN client.
Out of a LAN client comes in to pfSense LAN.
So you expect to see "opposite" because one side is the sender and the other is the receiver. -
OK, Understand.
I had assumed they were directly the same. Now that I know, it makes sense but could have been clearer on the chart what was meant.
Is there anyway to make the chart page bigger and therefore longer - I am interested in the table part on the right side.
Thanks.
-
At the moment that table is hardcoded to 10 rows - both in /usr/local/www/status_graph.php and bandwidth_by_ip.php
It's only software - there could be a parameter box to select how many rows to display in the table. -
Will this be fixed or?
I am running Supermicro server with no vlans. 2.1.5 - very annoying :)
