Hello,

Quick question that came out of an issue we had last week.  InterMapper version 
5.2.3, with one flows exporter, attached to our primary router in the data 
center.  The interface  is an ethernet port, that has been set to 15 Mbit, as 
that is the level of service from our MPLS provider.

The issue is that when I look at the Flows data for that interface, when 
network utilization was > 90% for more than 24 hours, the Flows window was 
showing an average of 3000 KB/sec (23 Mbit ??).

I know that there is some error in flows data depending on when the sessions 
ended, but both 15 minutes and 2 day graphs show traffic higher than should be 
possible.  I would guess that it's possible that we are getting 15 Mbit both in 
and out of the interface, for a total of 30 Mbit, but I see peaks of data over 
5000 KB/sec (39 Mbit).  Which doesn't make sense to me.

I have access to another tool, Cacti, which shows the same interface, over the 
same time frame, with an average of just over 14 Mbit utilization.

Can anyone help to explain this for me?

Thanks
Nick
