Hello everyone!

I need some help figuring out results presented by nfsen/nfdump.
I have one IP address that experienced excessive traffic in one 5-min
period.
But I get different results for bps from GUI/CLI.

GUI (NfSen Top 10, Stat dstip, Order by: bps, Nfdump filter: dst ip
xx.yyy.zz.qqq)

** nfdump -M /opt/nfsen/profiles-data/live/all  -T  -r
2016/03/15/nfcapd.201603151140 -n 10 -s dstip/bps
nfdump filter:
dst ip xx.yyy.zz.qqq
Top 10 Dst IP Addr ordered by bps:

So, if you look closely, all outputs show same values for all summary
stats, but in per IP stats ipbs in second output is not correct (btw.
shouldn't that be ibps?).
If you calculate bps as bytes*8/duration, you get excactly 4396057035, or
4,4 Gbps.
I have also noticed that in case of bps, kbps and Mbps that field shows
correct values.
I do not have a single clue what's going on here. Am I maybe missing
something?

If helpful, versions are:
nfsen 1.3.6p1
nfdump 1.6.13

Thanks in advance,
Gabriela
