Any other thoughts on why i'm seeing double the inbound traffic?
We're have a large increase in site traffic the last few weeks and my
out bound traffic has increase to almost 400mbit/sec which has
translated to 800mbit of backend gluster traffic. I'm basically at
the limit of gigabit ethernet unless i do bounding.
Ideas on how to fix this?
thanks,
liam
