Our freeBSD 6.0 host is not yet in production, but appears to have outgoing
traffic of around 140Mb/day; the http logs say 16 hits etc. The host provider
said this
"The server is on a /20-network, and this leads to high amounts of
background traffic (ARP, broadcast, etc.). These traffic types are
likely to be the reason for most of your outbound traffic."
I'm not sure I follow this argument. Does this mean I'm responding to large
number of spurious requests? The provider's analysis of the input volume is
pretty small (0Mb).
Is there a tool that can give me some reasonable data on this sort of problem?
Perhaps I need to close down some services etc.
