Hmm, I think I know what the problem is.
Recently, the network traffic counters were changed so that they
count things on a per-ip basis. I'd guess that your tun interface
changed IP number and therefore lost all of the old packet counts.
WRT the other interfaces, I can't say for sure. Maybe Joe (cc'd) can
comment on this - he did the changes :) Perhaps this is also due to
an IP number change.... I've just done some quick tests here, and it
looks as if just ifconfig'ing the interface with the same IP number
that it currently has will reset the traffic counts. This doesn't
sound good...
Comments Joe ?
