Precisely but... Explain to me then why doing this with ssh1 it is only 2-3k of traffic but with ssh2 it is 25-75K of traffic. Explain as well that doing this under FreeBSD 4.3 Stable only creates 2-3K of traffic, using ssh1 or ssh2? I understand some traffic, but it is a ton of it.

Any ideas? So just to get this straight ....when running tcpdump/trafshow on the "LOCAL" machine there is no real network traffic between the two systems. When doing the same thing on the "REMOTE" machine the network traffic goes to about 40-50k p/s. Well trafshow/tcpdump show network traffic statistics. Running them on the "remote" host will have to show the output on the "local" host .. transporting the data over the network ... which in turn will generate new trafshow/tcpdump input data .. which will generate output that in turn needs to be send to your "local" system ... which generates new input etc ..... You're basically monitoring your own SSH traffic that gets generated by using network traffic analysys tools on the REMOTE end of the connection. -- Pascal Hofstee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
