Netflow showing peak more than the physical bandwidth

Hi there,

I saw netflow reading for peak utilisation is higher higher than the physical bandwidth. How could this be possible? Anyone have this problem before?

Hi,

Can think of two reasons.

-There is comprssion on the link

-There is some buffering between the link and the netflow process.

Hi,

I have the same problem.

Can't believe how this is possible.

Dit you configure the bandwidth correctly on the interface with the bandwidth command?

Hello,

which software or tool do you using? I saw some software that badly parse flow information. Try to decrease netflow timeouts. (flows will be more often exported).

see:

router(config)# ip flow-cache timeout active 1

router(config)# ip flow-cache timeout inactive 10
