ifconfig & gnome-system-monitor: RX bytes overflow at 4 GByte #181

Closed beta-tester closed 2 years ago

beta-tester commented 4 years ago

hi, is it normal, that ipconfig (and gnome-system-monitor) can not show RX bytes higher that 4GBytes (4294967295 bytes )? it overflows and then it is starting from 0 bytes again over and over.

is it an issue only for the 32bit Raspberry Pi OS version?

Looks like it's just how the kernel works - http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0508.2/0747.html

Not sure about other architectures.

thank you for the answer... better late than never ... ;)

It's a bit more absurd that some of these are from 2016 but yeah, as you say...
