Network usage monitoring (log.nsf)

I’m doing some testing of bandwidth usage between a Notes 9.0.1FP3 client and Domino 9.0.1FP3 server.

When examining the SentToServer, SentToServerCompressed and SentToServerUncompressed what are the values an expression of?

As an example I did a new replica from the client to the server of a 13MB test.nsf.

Servers log.nsf has the following values for the session:

SentToServer: 6.951.794

SentToServerCompressed: 6.240.336

SentToServerUncompressed: 9.342.560

SentFromServer: 1.906.836

SentFromServerCompressed: 1.579.654

SentFromServerUncompressed: 2.614.620

SentToServer + SentFromServer = 8.858.630

The same test, without compression gave these numbers:

SentToServer: 9.637.678

SentFromServer: 2.513.924

SentToServer + SentFromServer = 12.151.602

My guess now, is that the SentToServerUncompressed and SentFromServerUncompressed is the amount of bytes that would be sent/received if compression hadn’t been enabled (the couple of 100KB difference between the two session could be explained in policyrefreshes, mail checks etc). Would I be right in that assumption?

But then what is the SentToServerCompressed, and SentFromServerCompressed values representing? If these are to represent the amount of compressed data being sent/received what causes the difference from SentToServer and SentFromServer?

Subject: I found this just a couple weeks ago…

This should explain it all.

I created a couple extra columns in my log.nsf databases based on the information on page 6… Seems quite helpful!
