Hi hackers,
I have tried to find out the amount of traffic that one box sent (from
the last reboot), and netstat -s seemed like a good choice. But netstat -s
seems to generate incorrect results:
tcp:
1730547260 packets sent
1325234728 data packets (1119813018 bytes)
28496801 data packets (151887376 bytes) retransmitted
This box generated a lot more than ~12Gb of tcp traffic since the last
reboot. And I have not messed up with interfaces (up, down, whatever) OR
with netstat -z in all this time. Any idea what could be wrong? Are the
counters resetted sometimes, or they wrap sometimes, or...?
Thank you,
bogdan
