I'm not 100% on how the F5 figures are calculated but keep in mind, if this is say HTTP, you are sending 2G of requests, the responses will likely be somewhat bigger and certainly won't be the same.

 

 

I'd read that as 2G in from the 'client', 3.3Gb out to the client from the servers.

 

You're probably better off using Module Statistics > Traffic Summary Statistics to drill down and see stats for client and server side.
