We're running the filer-mrtg graphing program to monitor our filers. One of the measurements graphed is 'Network Kbytes Sent and Received'. For a 100Mb link the theoretical maximum should be about 12.5K KBytes. We're running at 6K KBytes. While this is within spec we're upgrading it to a 1Gb link.
However, filer-mrtg also has the measurement 'Network Interface e10a (type=ethernet-csmacd) - Sent and Received'. For this we are seeing 1280K KBytes peaks. What exactly is this measuring, and what is the maximum value?
