The following reply was made to PR bin/37602; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "james brown" <jbsd@syndicate.net> To: "Crist J.

The destination IP address determines which i think in our situation it does make sense. here is our setup: - a single network interface. - multiple ip address aliases on that interface. - multiple http and ftp daemons bound to those ip addresses. we want to measure the network traffic for each ip address using netstat -i -b in order to get statistics on how much traffic is moving in and out of these daemons. > If you are playing with ipfw(8) accounting, you can see this by adding > rules like, i am aware that we can count bytes using ipfw accounting but this only produces the total in/out combined. we were hoping to use netstat because it displays in and out separately. the bottom line is netstat -i -b does not appear to be working properly for ip aliases, this is why i submitted the gnats report. thank you, james To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
