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
see "(8.5 gb)". great.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
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:
"265.7 gb" ... that's decent counter!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
