I am faced with a weird scenario. Host has two 10Gbps uplinks. Physical NIC usage in the performance chart shows what seems to be ridiculous numbers; ~55 million Kilobytes per second? Is that even possible? Incidentally SolarWinds monitoring goes red echoing these spikes, reporting sometimes up to 800% utilization on a given vmnic, i.e., % of the 10 Gbps, naturally.

ESXTOP dos not reflect this. ESXTOP show some spikes around the time of the ones in the chart, but no more than 2 to 3 Gbps coming from one or two VMs.

Is this false positives, or what? Can someone please help explain?
