Hello,

I'm guessing that the counters in netstat wrap, can anyone confirm if this is the case?

On a particular machine here is a sample:
jre@web3:~ 504] netstat -inb
Name  Mtu   Network       Address            Ipkts Ierrs     Ibytes    Opkts Oerrs     Obytes  Coll
fxp0  1500  <Link#1>    00:20:ed:1a:11:3a 967502927     0 4198415173 930726328     1 2948161691     0
fxp0  1500  172.16.100/24 172.16.100.185  967046225     - 1695853036 930713017     - 2802327179     -

I know for a fact that the there's been more than about 3 GB of traffic output from this machine, and the counters haven't been reset manually.

Thanks,
John.
