            Bug ID: 220198
           Summary: igb stats double counting in 12-CURRENT
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern

My networking statistics appear to be double counting on two of my FreeBSD
12-CURRENT boxes running r319025.

I discovered the double counting by comparing the output of "systat -ifstat"
(which reports 988 KB/s) with the output of "iftop -B" (which reports 491
KB/s). I believe systat uses the kernel interface counters to infer bandwid=
th
usage, whereas iftop gathers statistics using pcap. I know that iftop is the
correct one, because my internet speed only gives me around ~500 KB/s
unfortunately.

# systat -ifstat -match igb0
...

The two interfaces in these boxes are:
