Need assistance understanding graphs and torch

[xenofly]

I was poking around the graphs today just to get an idea of how much traffic was moving through my network. However, none of the data I am looking at seems to make much sense.

For example on Eth 5 I have a NAS who’s primary purpose it to collect low bit-rate video streams from several connected cameras.
Looking at the NAS itself I see ~3Mbps received which is what I expect.

The Router OS graph for the interface shows a steady data rate of ~22Mbps.

When running torch on the interface I see almost nothing.

Any suggestions as to what I am doing incorrectly here?

Sigh… I should have let this post die but instead I’ll point out my own stupidity.

2.5.- 3mbps was the data rate I expected. When looking at the network monitor on the NAS I saw the number I expected but completely missed the fact that it was reporting BYTES.

I found my NAS was pulling every available video stream from each camera even though it was configured to only ever use the low quality stream.
