Hi Andy, This is a machine at UVic that we use to serve BaBar xrootd files to virtual machines that we spawn in the cloud. It's running little else besides xrootd. Any traffic on the external interface (the plot that I sent) is xrootd. We see very high inbound traffic almost all of the time. On the back end, we have 10TB or so of data in a lustre filesystem that's distributed across multiple workers. Since this is a distributed filesystem, we expect (and we do see) traffic on the internal interface that's associated with the reading of xrootd collections. But we don't expect to see that externally... What else can I tell you about this machine/setup to help diagnose the problem?
