Hi all,

I am trying to check the bandwidth used by connections through one of our 
firewalls by selecting "Account" in the "track" column in SmartDashboard. 

Connections out to the internet seem to report the correct number of bytes 
transferred but connections over any of our site-to-site VPN connections seem 
to show the cumulative number of bytes transferred for the same 
source/destination/service.

For example, if I download a 4Mb file from a FTP server on the other end of a 
VPN link 3 times I will get 3 entries in the firewall log.

The first will show 4Mb
The second will show 8Mb
The third will show 12Mb

If I do the same from a FTP server on the internet

The first will show 4Mb
The second will show 4Mb
The third will show 4Mb

Has anybody else had the same problem? If so did you manage to resolve it?

Any help would be appreciated!

Many thanks,
Dave
