Package: vnstat Version: 1.12-2 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
vnstats default configuration causes it to reject any bandwidth measurement over 100Mbit. (MaxBandwidth is set to 100). This causes incorrect bandwidth reports on systems with gigabit network/internet connections. Since it is non-obvious to users until you compare it with another tool or (as in my case) see a report you know cannot be correct it is very likely that users of this package will get incorrect usage data without being aware it is incorrect. I've used this tool for almost a year before noticing the reports are not entirely accurate. The default MaxBandwidth setting should be removed or increased to reflect the current state of network technology. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages vnstat depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii libc6 2.19-18 vnstat recommends no packages.
