Traffic counter in systat -ifstat overflows after each 4GiB data transferred and starts from the beginning How-To-Repeat: transfer 4GiB or more data through the network interface while looking at systat -ifstat
State Changed From-To: open->suspended 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.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->yar So I can see feedback...
