I'm new to Check Point and I'm trying to make sense of the data in our logs and in particular the inbound/outbound bytes.
My understanding:
Source = Client
Destination = Server
Client Inbound Bytes = Number of bytes received by the client
Client Outbound Bytes = Number of bytes sent from the client
Server Inbound Bytes = Number of packets received by the server
Server Outbound Bytes = Number of packets sent from the server
But then the data doesn't really make sense as what we have setup the server should really only be transmitting/sending data to the client and we get the opposite:
Client Inbound Bytes Client Outbound Bytes Server Inbound Bytes Server Outbound Bytes
5 MB 22.5 MB 22.5 MB 5 MB
5 MB 22.5 MB 22.5 MB 5 MB
5 MB 22.5 MB 22.5 MB 5 MB
However I saw in another board inbound/outbound were the other way round which would make my data seem more accurate but just doesn't seem logical:
Client: Source of connection
Server: Destination of connection
Inbound: Being sent from client/server
Outbound: Being received by client/server
