For a long time I have been struggling with the problem of a strange increase in traffic on various devices. This increase spreads all over the network on all devices. It reaches 80-100Mb, it happens every few minutes. I see pppoe protocol on Torch, but I don’t see the source or destination IP address. What can it be and how to verify the source of the problem?
Select your bridge lan interface inside torch so you can see the traffic of all your devices inside your network…
Also why dont you use queues?
Since PPPoE ist Layer 2 Protocol so there Are No IP Adresses, there Are Mac adresses
Ok, so is there any option to verify what is the source of such transfer hops?
Is that a PPPoE Client you use to get internet inside your local network?
Is it a PPPoE server you use for other PPPoE clients to connect?
Its pretty easy to see where that traffic comes from…
It turned out that increases come every time a device in this subnet is rebooted. Or when I enable the RSTP protocol on any device. What can I do to prevent this? In this subnet I have about 370 devices, I have another subnet with over 430 devices and this problem does not occur.
Ok so i was right… Use queues or check why those devices draw traffic…
what queues do you suggest to add? When I wrote 370 devices, I didn’t mean 370 customers, but devices like SXT S5, SXT HG and Omnitiks. If I restart any of them, on ALL devices the traffic increases under 100mbps for about 2 seconds. It turns out that when new device is connected to this network, it will rise to 100M when switched on. If I have RSTP off on the bridge and turn it on - I have the same effect.
If it’s only for 2 seconds then why is this a problem?
