On a particular machine here is a sample: jre@web3:~ 504] netstat -inb Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Ibytes Opkts Oerrs Obytes Coll fxp0 1500 00:20:ed:1a:11:3a 967502927 0 4198415173 930726328 1 2948161691 0 fxp0 1500 172.16.100/24 172.16.100.185 967046225 - 1695853036 930713017 - 2802327179 - I know for a fact that the there's been more than about 3 GB of traffic output from this machine, and the counters haven't been reset manually.
