Hi, this is my first post here.. After searching on the net and using man with no results, I decided to ask for your help.
All started when looking at the Total Fields of ifstat -ifs I noticed that the received data was much higher than the number measured by our ISP in their control panel. The out field on the contrary seems to match.
It's like there is a lot of incoming data not measured by the ISP (something like traffic on the LAN?)
However, trying to investigate the problem, I tried:
and so far I haven't been able to understand what the second line exactly measures. It looks like it corresponds to the traffic measured in the ISP control panel, but is it the traffic directed to the public IP of the server? But in this case where has the 1.3TERABYTE (!) come from? I'd really like to understand in details.
Can you please help me (or provide some links where I could find more details on this subject)?
This is bce0:
Thanks,
Francesco
