isCarter,

I ran the the tests with racluster and the outputs are the same.

root at argus:~# racluster -r argus.2009.03.03.17.00.00 -M rmon -m saddr -w
- - | racount
racount   records     total_pkts     src_pkts       dst_pkts
total_bytes        src_bytes          dst_bytes
    sum   2334        336945         193790         143155
276763462          239874647          36888815

root at argus:~# racluster -r argus.2009.03.03.17.00.00 -M rmon -m saddr -w
- - | ra -w - | racount
racount   records     total_pkts     src_pkts       dst_pkts
total_bytes        src_bytes          dst_bytes
    sum   2334        336945         193790         143155

I still thinking that there is a problem.  For example I tried the
following.

root at nsm:~# racluster -r argus.2009.03.03.17.00.00 -M rmon -m saddr  -w
- -  | rasort -m bytes -w - | ra -N 5
      StartTime    Flgs  Proto            SrcAddr  Sport   Dir
  DstAddr  Dport  TotPkts   TotBytes State
17:00:02.870130  e          ip       74.125.0.163          <->
  0.0.0.0           25377   27162034   CON
17:00:43.147390  e          ip      68.142.122.70          <->
  0.0.0.0           23169   21108846   CON
17:00:02.635304  e          ip     63.251.219.114          <->
  0.0.0.0           21325   19133350   CON
17:00:02.075566  e          ip        66.90.64.10          <->

  0.0.0.0           15158   14123330   CON

- From the previous output the maximum total bytes is 27162034. But if the
"- net 136.145.34.0/24" filter is applied I get a bigger value for total
bytes (686322024).

root at nsm:~# racluster -r argus.2009.03.03.17.00.00 -M rmon -m saddr  -w
- - - net 136.145.34.0/24 | rasort -m bytes -w - | ra -N 5

Any clues?
