Can you post the graph?

Are you using a graph template, or did you create a graph from your own data sources?

What devices are you graphing? Brand and model please.

How many devices are you graphing and how many of the graph have this problem?

i have the same problem.

it seems that outbound traffic and inbound are really to close to each others.

ifconfig shows me the same oddities. i am running a debian inside a vmware.

here is the screenshot

i don't know what model exactly the interface is as it is emulated by the vmware GSX server host. how ever in /var/log/dmesg i could find

pcnet32.c:v1.27a 10.02.2002 tsbogend@alpha.franken.de
pcnet32: PCnet/PCI II 79C970A at 0x1080, 00 0c 29 27 11 47 assigned IRQ 18.
eth0: registered as PCnet/PCI II 79C970A
pcnet32: 1 cards_found.



What i did is I did tcpdump capture (tcpdump -v eth0) and then i imported this into a mysql db to run some stats over it. i sum the lengh of the ip packets coming my IP and and the ones leaving from My IP, and i get a somewhat more right figure.
inbound seems to be somewhat lower than the outbound.
which is logical as this server is a web server and and shoutcast relay server.

My server has two permenant inputs : a 250kbs NSV stream and a 128kbs MP3. so it can happen that the input is high than output. but inbound volume should follow outbound in a such a way ! and the wierd thing is that ifconfig seems to give me the same figures.

driver bug ? vmvare bug ? how can i be sure?

If I had to guest, I would say VMWARE.
