I have several VPN concentrators all terminating IPSec tunnels.  This is
NOT tunneled in UDP - pure IPSec IP only (IP type 50/51) traffic.  This
traffic appears to be counted correctly in throughput and total data
TX/RX, but protocol distribution doesn't account for it at all.  For
example, I have a concentrator that has TX 450GB total, yet Protocol
Distribution has less than 100MB counted, looks to be mostly ICMP
control packets and udp 500 for ISAKMP.  Will the -p | --protocols help
this?

 

Also, the IP Distribution is pretty much always wrong.  Seems almost any
host I pick that's running mostly http, https, smtp, etc. - the graphs
display a color that represents "other" or some bogus protocol I know
doesn't make up 100% of that hosts traffic.  For example, I have an
http/https server that has ~ 45GB of total traffic.  Protocol
Distribution accounts this accurately as 100% TCP and has the proper
ratio to TX and RX.  However, IP Distribution Pie chart is 100% yellow 0
which is "other".  If you scroll down a little further to TCP/UDP
Service/Port Usage, it shows ~ 45GB on 443/https - which is correct.

 

Same thing with a mail (smtp) host.  All counters are accurate except
the IP Distribution chart that shows the ~15GB of TX traffic is
BitTorrent and the ~15GB of RX traffic is either telnet or ftp - show
shade of blue.  No "MAIL" traffic at all!  Yet the TCP/UDP Service/Port
Usage accurately counts the traffic as SMTP.

 

This is 3.2.1 on FreeBSD.  Exclusively netflow.

 

This isn't a show stopper - just something that's been bugging me for
some time now.  Thanks!
