unknown Traffic [7:7129]
Hi, Hope somebody can enlighten me. I got this router 2 uplinks and 1 connected to my LAN. When I performed "sh int" on the respective interfaces, this was the result: Uplink 1: 5 minute input rate 501000 bits/sec, 373 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 1748000 bits/sec, 330 packets/sec Uplink 2: 5 minute input rate 749000 bits/sec, 735 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 23912000 bits/sec, 2762 packets/sec LAN interface: 5 minute input rate 3678 bits/sec, 4011 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 13476000 bits/sec, 2096 packets/sec Can someone explain to me why when 36M of traffic went into my LAN interface (input), only less than 26M were threw out to the Uplinks (output) Best Regards, Andy Low Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=7129&t=7129 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Another possible explanation is that packets going into an interface get out of that same interface. Total input rate is 3803 bps, vs a total output rate of 39136000 bps, which is much closer (about 2.5% vs 33%), and even more so when you look at packet rates (5119 pps input vs. 5188 pps output, which are within 1.5% of each other). Does that suggest anything? -- "Someone approached me and asked me to teach a javascript course.

In agreement with a point in the end, i too was thinking lan to lan traffic..
