Synopsis: systat(1): systat -ifstat traffic counter overflow State-Changed-From-To: open->suspended State-Changed-By: yar State-Changed-When: Mon Nov 27 11:57:30 UTC 2006 State-Changed-Why: systat(1) just displays the values of byte counters on the network interfaces. So does netstat(1). The counters are u_long, so they are 32-bit on i386 and other 32-bit architectures, while they are 64-bit on 64-bit architectures. E.g., they can account up to 2^64-1 bytes on amd64 or ia64. Of course, 64-bit counters can be emulated in systat(1) by paying attention to kernel counter overflows -- if someone writes a patch.
