Hi,

 

 

The (cur, max, limit, tot) = (79544, 202507, 0, 3.212G) means that there's currently 79544 connections, a maximum of 202507 connections at any one time since the box was booted, and a cumulative total of 3.2 billion (?) connections since the box was booted. Packets and bits totals are also cumulative. I can't see a good way to calculate max throughput with just that data.

 

 

The Performance graphs in the GUI can show the max throughput up through the last 30 days.

 

 

The Enterprise Manager 1.7 (on EM3000 hardware) has statistics-gathering capability that can show historical data and trending more like you are looking for.

 

 

There's also a lot of good posts here on DC about using Cacti to graph LTM data. Click here

 

 

Hope that helps,

 

Denny
