iControl bits

Hi,     I modify DistributionMonitor tool provided in code samples for C for displaying data along with graph.     When I look at total traffic (bits/sec) for particular member, ...

The connection data looks good. The throughput seem off in iControl. This could be due to the fact that we use a 32-bit number in v4.x for the throughput statistics and it could be that the number is truncating before passing back to the client. Ideally this shouldn't matter for rates as the numbers will average out over time (if you omit the rollover values). But, this doesn't seem to hold for your sample as the b virtual values are smaller than 32bits and the iControl values are larger than their counterparts.

 

 

The data is coming from the same place so the source is correct for both, I'll have to look into what is causing the iControl stats to be a bit off. I'll get back to you...
