Need help translating what T and P means now.

[jmair]

I don't know what P and T stands for now on our firewall. We don't have enough bandwidth for this to be Petabytes and Terabytes in 24hours. So what does P and T stand for under "Bytes" when I check traffic reports?

[john]

What make / model is your firewall that would probably help in its manual or someone may have the same one so can be more helpful if we have that.

They will be Petabytes and Terabytes. I'd suggest that they're all-time Receive and Send perhaps?

[jmair]

Sorry about that. It's a Palo Alto firewall.

[jmair]

We have 100Mbps for our site. Getting a 2.5 Petabytes in 24hrs might be a hard ask.

[3s-gtech]

Yes, but what about for the total lifetime of the firewall? I reckon those figures show that.

[jmair]

These are 24hour traffic reports. Here's a larger view.

Depending on which firewall you have currently

 

There are some current bugs regarding DNS acc calculations

 

PAN-227639 - Fixed an issue where the ACC displayed an incorrect DNS-base application traffic byte count.

Etc

 

New versions should have fix in it (depending if you’re on 10. Or 11. Etc)

That makes sense. Otherwise I think Google would be knocking on your door!
