Bug 101927 – iftop: when 'use-bytes' is in effect, the first column (2s average) displays wildly wrong values

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ivan Todoroski 2005-08-09 19:19:53 UTC]

see summary

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run: iftop -B -i ppp0

Actual Results:  
Values in the 1st column have no relation to reality. They are about an order of
magnitude higher than the 2nd or 3rd column (but there is no easily discernible
relationship, like a constant factor or anything), and it's not some transient
error either, the problem persists no matter how long iftop is running, making
the 2s average basically useless when 'use-bytes' is in effect.


Expected Results:  
The 1st column should roughly correspond to the values in the 2nd and 3rd
column, assuming a stream with a fairly constant rate is present (which was the
case at the time).
