Subject:   'netstat -i' shows incorrect counters for logical interfaces
Message-ID:  <31B47792.3CDE@ipsilon.com>

I can use 'ifconfig alias' to set multiple ip addresses for an 
interface.  However, 'netstat -i' shows that all of the logical 
interfaces for 1 physical interface have the same values for Ipkts, 
Opkts and so on.  This is because the counters are maintained on a per 
physical interface basis.  They should be maintained per logical 
interface to truly support logical interfaces.  'netstat -i' should get 
the counters from IP instead of networking drivers, right?
