[mrtg] Re: Wrong values in ATM PVC monitoring for Cisco Route r

[Sawyer, David]

Do your links have compression, if so the non-Cisco device may count
compressed data, but the Cisco device may count un-compressed data.

It's just a thought...

Richard,

# -- snip

It always shows the same values as the Shasta ports but
its always 2 megs less at the Cisco end. The only
explanation I could ever come up with is that the Shasta pumps out a lot of
"management" traffic that the Cisco drops before it
records he SNMP values.
I don't know if this helpful at all, but I'd curious to see what you find
out.

Thanks,
Joe Strause

Hi all :

# -- snip

However, my client has started his monitoring in the equipment that is
connected to the PVC where I am getting the graphs. He is using MRTG too ,
the same version than me ( 2.9.17 ) and the only difference between us is
the type of equipment ( he is using a Nortel Router ), and we got different
values of Current in/Out bits per second in the traffic values.

The matter is that sometimes the difference is big enough ( ~ 2Mbps ) and we
doubt if the values we are getting are correct. Always the values I got in
the Cisco Router is lower than my client is getting in his Norftel Router
( Shasta BSN 5000 ). Of course I've considered that the output traffic in my
Router is the input traffic in my client's router and viceversa.
