More LAN traffic than expected when idling

Recommended Posts

I am seeing 0.5 - 5 Mbps traffic between my two syncing Windows computers on a LAN in an idle situation, was expecting close to zero.

Configuration:

  • 15 folders, about 300K files and subfolders, about 1.5 TB in total.
  • Both peers have finished indexing and syncing.
  • rescan interval set to a large number.
  • All folders are syncing with read/write keys.
  • One folder is on a removable drive on one computer, and has been removed.
  • LAN peer discovery is on.
  • No peers outside the LAN when this behavior is observed.

Questions:

  1. Is this a problem or expected behavior?
  2. If a problem, how do I diagnose this problem?
  3. Any suggested approaches to solve or workaround?

Thanks.

1) this can be identity folder, License folder, or any files actually being changed and rescyned. Any record in History? 

2) Look into logs and see what Sync does. You can send them to support for analysis. Else, sniff it with Wireshark or any other sniffer you may be using. 

3) is it confirmed that the traffic is generated by Sync? Not yet sure what kind of traffic it is.
