Client Connects performance graph

Not sure what they were trying to say there, but it contradicts itself - is it what we rec'd from the client, or what the client accepted? since we can only really measure the first, it's more likely to be correct.

 

 

Just guessing here, but given our lexicon, I'm fairly certain that for TCP connections the Client Connects counter would increment when connections reach SYN-RCVD state (immediately after a SYN is received from any client), and the Client Accepts counter would increment only after a connection reached the ESTABLISHED state (handshake completed) -- the difference being the number of nascent connections that died having never completed the handshake.

 

 

Connects would also include UDP, but then again both counters may increment in tandem for UDP since there is no handshake. Some skewing might also be expected if Loose Init were enabled. (The last is the most tenuous guess of all, just thinking all the data may not be in the conn table to count accurately at any given point.)

 

 

I think I'll see if the solution can be clarified. Thanks for bringing this to light, guys.
