Is this traffic normal ?

Finally I installed MRTG to monitor my RedHat 9.0 server. It is using MRTG, rrdtool, and routers2.cgi to produce the graph.

My question is, why I see somekind of persistant "incoming traffic" (received). This server is still new, no local user, nothing. Only.

It's like 2 MB per 5 minutes ...

I run tcpdump and saw nothing ... just a small traffic ...

Is this normal ?

Or snmpd send wrong information ?

Here is my snmpd.conf :

# contact
syslocation MyHost
syscontact "support@myhost.com"

# auth
rocommunity public

# disk monitoring
disk /
disk /home
disk /var

And here is my mrtg.cfg for eth0 :

Target[127.0.0.1_66.66.66.66]: /66.66.66.66:public@127.0.0.1:
SetEnv[127.0.0.1_66.66.66.66]: MRTG_INT_IP="66.66.66.66" MRTG_INT_DESCR="eth0"
MaxBytes[127.0.0.1_66.66.66.66]: 12500000
Title[127.0.0.1_66.66.66.66]: Traffic Analysis for 66.66.66.66 -- test.myhost.com
PageTop[127.0.0.1_66.66.66.66]: <H1>Traffic Analysis for 66.66.66.66 -- test.myhost.com</H1>

is this because of I using public@127.0.0.1 ?

Thanks for any help.
