Oh yea - right now I'm looking at the "IP Distribution" pie charts for a 
specific host.  This is a mail host and I know that 99.999% of the traffic to 
and from this host is SMTP, yet the pie chart is 99.999% yellow, which 
currently corresponds to KaZaa on the sent and eDonkey on the Receive.  Just a 
second ago the Receive side was light blue - which is Messenger.

Not sure if this is a browser issue or what - frustrating though!

Unfortunately I can't answer your specific question.  I'd say rounding error, 
but your values are too far apart for that.

I have some similar type issues as well.  For example, the rrd data available 
with historical views isn't even close to the real-time and more accurate data. 
 Also, some of the counters within rrd contradict themselves.

My Summary Traffic says I have 99.9% unicast in the table, but the pie chart 
color tells me I have 99.9% MULTICAST.

There are a number of other anomalies that I can't recall right now.  I haven't 
spent as much time in the nTop GUI lately. 

I wish I could remember all the issues more accurately.  I guess if it starts 
bothering me I'll setup a QA instance where I generate known volumes of traffic 
to predetermined hosts and make sure it's accounted for correctly.  Until then 
I'm not sure what to do...

Subject: [Ntop] total traffic understanding

Hello,

I'm having difficulties trying to understand total traffic sums on ntop.

For example, in "Global protocol distribution" I have a total of 2.4 GB 
(99.9%) of IP traffic. Inside this IP traffic I have 2.1 GB (87.8%) of 
TCP, 80.7 MB (3.3%) and ICMP/IGMP/Other IP, accouting 0% each.
Why doesn't the sum match? 87.8% + 3.3% does not equal to 99.9%

Also, on traffic directions -> Remote to Local IP, the Total Traffic 
does not match any other total.

I've search in the documentation about these issues with no success. If 
anyone can explain to me or indicate me something to read about, I'd 
appreciate.

Thanks in advance and regards,
--
