Hi, Was wondering if there are any plans to update either the kernel structures and/or netstat to show more than 4GB of traffic stats. For example, on a 4.8-STABLE machine: $ netstat -bI sis0 Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Ibytes ... sis0 1500 <Link#2> <mac-addr-hidden> 8789598 0 4103727771 ... <non-relevant parts removed> This shows that sis0 has received around 3.9GB. Then, after transferring approximately 200MB: $ netstat -bI sis0 Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Ibytes ... sis0 1500 <Link#2> <mac-addr-hidden> 9245518 0 18874368 ... The Ibytes line has dropped from 3.9GB to 18MB. It should of course be 4.1GB. How much would need to change in either the kernel or netstat to make >4GB possible? Best regards - Andy
