Thread: Finally an advantage of 64-bit: no rollover of RX / TX bytes in ifconfig :-)


it looks found advantage of 64-bit: no rollover of rx / tx bytes in ifconfig

code:
sander@flappie:~$ ifconfig eth0  eth0      link encap:ethernet  hwaddr 00:24:54:e8:54:31              inet addr:83.128.1.2  bcast:83.128.1.255  mask:255.255.252.0            inet6 addr: fe80::224:54ff:fee8:5431/64 scope:link            broadcast running multicast  mtu:1500  metric:1            rx packets:6490043 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0            tx packets:3153270 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0            collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000             rx bytes:8568780588 (8.5 gb)  tx bytes:1965826863 (1.9 gb)            interrupt:19
see "(8.5 gb)". great.

on 32-bit ubuntu (13.04), after 4.2 gb (2^32) rx bytes counter rolls on 0 gb. btw: think 32-bit should not problem counter, apparently is...


edit

after 8 hours of loading 300 / 300 mbps connection:

code:
sander@flappie:~/oud-downloads$ ifconfig eth0  eth0      link encap:ethernet  hwaddr 00:24:54:e8:54:31              inet addr:83.128.1.2  bcast:83.128.1.255  mask:255.255.252.0            inet6 addr: fe80::224:54ff:fee8:5431/64 scope:link            broadcast running multicast  mtu:1500  metric:1            rx packets:176506360 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0            tx packets:88250953 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0            collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000             rx bytes:265741060173 (265.7 gb)  tx bytes:7640086455 (7.6 gb)            interrupt:19
"265.7 gb" ... that's decent counter!

nice
