Live connections bandwidth not accurate

In Current Activities > Live Connections the bandwidth column is not accurate.

As you can see in the attached picture when expanding source IP address 192.168.50.2, it has 2 connections with a total download bandwidth of 50 KB/Sec but it only shows 25 KB/Sec

This give a false indication when I need to find out which host is using more bandwidth

More than a year and Live Connection is still the same poor tab.

Understanding how much bandwidth is consumed by each user is a dream. Sophos: when do you think to implement something useful?

Thanks

I really miss a better live connection tab too..
Its really embarassing to explain to the customer that we can't tell for sure wich user is consuming the most and how..

glad to know that I'm not the only one that can't figure out who the top talker on my network is via the Sophos tools.

HI ZaneDonaldson Paulo Sá

To know the top bandwidth consumer IP base you can run following shell command. It will provide quite accurate output.

iftop -n -i PortX

X is a port number on which you need to monitor. On the output press small "p" to know the port number. You can also filter IP using -f switch.

Regards, Ronak.
