systat -ifstat reports double up
-
I have a 3 interface firewall running 2.1-BETA0 (amd64) built on Sun Sep 2 20:13:58 EDT 2012
ix1 - LAN 10G
igb0 - WAN 1G
ix2 - DMZ 10Grunning
systat -ifstat
with some test traffick
LAN <-> DMZ
WAN <-> DMZ
syststat reports the double traffic for each interface.ix2 in 162.280 MB/s 195.464 MB/s 12.752 TB
out 212.717 MB/s 230.160 MB/s 16.718 TBix1 in 116.436 MB/s 116.638 MB/s 7.238 TB
out 45.712 MB/s 82.588 MB/s 3.713 TBigb0 in 96.046 MB/s 113.383 MB/s 8.248 TB
out 174.124 MB/s 177.148 MB/s 12.529 TBnote that igb0 is a 1Gb interface and therefore theoretically cannot exceed 125 MB/s
Checking the linux boxes generating the traffic and the HP switch reveals that the values reported by
systat -ifstat are more or less double of the actual traffic.Cheers / Thor
