Traffic counters on interface

vudex
Level 1
Level 1

Hi everyone. I'm trying to troubleshoot very slick problem, that's why I am following any suspicious behavior (for me).

 

We need to run traffic capturing and analyzing app, that has to be able to do deep packet inspection and able to replicate data from unencrypted protocols (ftp, http). It's third party app that runs on dedicated server and receives full copy of traffic via SPAN. Right now app can't identify files more than 10 MB, I get the same results trying to export object from HTTP via WireShark. 

 

My test lab looks like this

 

(Web Server)---VLAN100---(ASR1001X)---VLAN1903---(CISCO 3759)---(Laptop)

 

I am running monitor session from Cisco 3759.

 

Session 1
---------
Type                   : Local Session
Source Ports           : 
    Both               : Gi1/0/23
Destination Ports      : Gi1/0/11
    Encapsulation      : Native
          Ingress      : Disabled

I am downloading test .txt file with size of ~ 96MB

But output bytes on cisco 1903 interface shows approximately 75 MB

 

52174 packets output, 79307491 bytes

ls -sh file_test.txt 
96M file_test.txt

Is it normal behavior? In the end, I can download the whole file on the end machine, but tcpdump shows ~75 MB too.

P.S regarding to general problem - I am trying to identify congestion, but can't find any drops on interfaces, participating in test lab.

Hello,

 

I am not clear on where the 'original' 96MB size file arrives. Where do you see the file size ?
