Directadmin usage statistics wrong

[planepix]

Hi there,

I've got a colocated server, running directadmin on it.

My hosts' switch is telling that the server is using about 70 GB of traffic every month, while Directadmin is tellling its about 20 GB / month.

There aren't any other apps running on the server who can use the traffic.

So are directadmins metings so wrong or is it something else?

What does the following give you when run on the command line?

/usr/bin/netstat -f inet -b -I ethernet_device

-bash: /usr/bin/netstat: No such file or directory

What Operating System are you running?
I should have mentioned, that was for FreeBSD.

Try /bin/netstat -i inet eth0

[root@server1 ~]# /bin/netstat -i inet eth0

Directadmin:

Switch:

Is there a possibility that the switch is trying to predict how much i'm going to use or something?
