cpview total Mbits/second

Please can someone explain this difference in total Mbits and actual connections?

This is a 3100 with R80.10 JHF 169

Can you show the output of 'fw ctl pstat' and the output of 'fw tab -t connections -s' ? sk103496 tells us that CPview is designed to show the actual amount of connections that currently pass through the Security Gateway. This counter is adjusted according to which Check Point kernel module is handling the traffic:

  • When SecureXL is enabled, CPView Utility shows the connections from the SecureXL FWAccel module (run the command fwaccel stats | grep "C total conns")
  • When SecureXL is disabled, CPView Utility shows the connections from the FW module (run the command fw tab -t connections -s and refer to #VALS column)

SecureXL is on. I now also enabled NAT templates and rebooted.

Here are the mentioned outputs (from past the reboot)
