<br>
We have had a report from a member that the P2P graphs in IXP Manager <br>
are under-reporting compared to their own stats and to the overall <br>
traffic reported by MRTG. In fact on further comparison with the RRD <br>
files this morning and it seems we are seeing approximately half of the <br>
traffic vs the stats at their side.<br>
<br>
Looking in to this, I see that the per-protocol graphs in IXP Manager <br>
are reporting about half of our total exchange traffic, vs MRTG.<br>
<br>
I'm interested if anyone else has encountered a similar issue?<br>
<br>
How close are your MRTG reported traffic levels and that of sflow? (and <br>
what switch vendor are you using?)<br>
<br>
We are running Arista [EOS] and have the sflow sample rate set to [1 in] <br>
16384.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Ian<br>
