ASG IP is the top of bandwidth usage

Helo,

Does anybody noticed that in the list of top clients under bandwidth usage, the IP of ASG has the top Connection and top total bandwidth used? Anybody has a logical explanation to this?

As shown in the image attached. My ASG is 192.168.0.102, it was configured to be in bridge mode. At first, I thought it is due to ASG served as the middle-man to processed all the traffic from internal LAN to external Internet. However, if that is the case, supposedly the total connection from all the LAN IP should be equal to the total connection IP of ASG right?

Hi,
the ASG displays the total count, which is traffic in and out, so you effectively see a double count.

Hi Ian,

Ok, by the way, could it be possible due to ASG being set as proxy? If all traffic from LAN need to pass through ASG proxy, the IP of all the traffic will be "originate" from ASG right?

You're right, the traffic counter only sees the actual source (destination) address in the packet leaving from (arriving at) the interface. That would be a great feature request to have it query conntrack or the appropriate proxy to get the "right" data.
