[mrtg] Re: traffic on cisco switch VLAN interface

[Cook, Garry]

If you are looking at a multilayer switch, with one or a number of
VLANs, the traffic that you are seeing may be the first packet in each
particular flow. Once a flow is established, subsequent packets are
checked against the flow-cache and switched in hardware, so they would
not be seen by SNMP counters at layer 3.
