Q: Strange traffic on http port in graphs
I have this strange traffic ratio and wonder if someone had already experienced a situation like that and found the root cause.
I have two servers, both mostly active on the http side of things, traffic wise. Normally a server gets small http request to pull some file and responds with a far larger reply, for example serving a jpeg file to a client. Therefore usually the ratio of incoming vs outgoing connections looks like this:
However there's another web server that's doing a similar job, mostly serving http pages and its traffic looks like this:
Something is definitely wrong but I don't see any strangeness in apache logs. This has been going for quite some time but hasn't been like that before. Also, turning off web service completely neutralizes that traffic, the graph would stay close to zero for both outbound and inbound data. Any ideas on what could be going on and what to check? Thanks.
