Hi Alexis

I seem to have the opposite problem. MRTG shows 30-35 Mbps but nfsen seems to show 50-60 Mbps. So far I have assumed it is because I'm not doing something quite right.

I do not think anything that I say can be of the slightest public interest - Grigory Perelman.

Hello,

I am trying to evaluate if my fprobes are analyzing correctly all the network traffic that i am sending to them. First, I realized that the optimization parameters in the fprobe man page really changes their performance. Still there is a problem and i wish to know if other users have the same results. When i compare the raw throughput of bits/s of the interface on which the fprobe is connected with the throughput measured by NFsen , i still find a small difference. When MRTG shows 280Mb/s, i only have a throughput of 230Mb/s in NFsen.

Is NFsen only measuring IP throughput? MRTG measures the throughput considering 802.1q vlan and ethernet header before the IP packet.

How much throughput can be analyzed by NFsen? Do you have any performance/tuning tips?

Regards,

Alexis
