The Status -> Network (Other) graph is very interesting. I’m seeing some interesting spikes of traffic during the night that I’d love to drill down on and see what is going on. Is there anything in IPFire that would allow me to figure out what those traffic spikes are all about?
Bernard - Your explanation could be plausible, however my real question was more about whether the function exists to see the connections that were made.
on one of the IPFire systems I maintain, this seems to correlate to the daily PPPoE re-dial-in forced by my ISP, which usually happens around 03:15 AM here:
Hi,
after reasoning a bit about the problem, I did a test.
I can observe such peaks at my system also ( max. ~2000 ). They are not time related, but related to start of clients. Curiously the peaks only show up at the start of my laptop.
Thinking about my doings around startup, I remembered starting bittorrent service soon after switching on the computer. Stopping/restarting the service produced exactly the peak.
Thus an answer to the opening question is only possible, if you know the activities in your system.
Thanks. I guess I had just hoped that IPFire was keeping track of the outbound connections and there was a report hidden somewhere. No matter though, I’m still very happy with IPFire.
Looking at DHCP, I have about 30 active DHCP leases out right now. Between multiple computers, Raspberry Pi’s, streaming sticks, etc there are a lot of potential clients that could be busy doing things overnight.
