>Description:
"packets sent from this host" for ip: in netstat -in does not include packets with fabricated header.
This is not causing us any operational problems.
I have not tested the behavior of the similar ip6 counters.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a completely quite machine:
$ netstat -s | grep 'packets sent' > /tmp/a
$ traceroute -n 1.1.1.1
$ netstat -s | grep 'packets sent' | diff /tmp/a -
notice that 'packets sent with fabricated header' (within ip: section) has increased, but 'packets sent from this host' has not.
