Hello,
It seems that the byte counters (derived from netstat -nbi) reset at around 4 GB. Is there no way around this? It would be nice to be able to see an accurate display of totals. It just seems pointless to even have this, as 4 GB is just not that much anymore. I know this is a 32bit limitation of the variable, but that's just bad coding in my opinion (no offence intended), I mean there must be some way around this.
Thank You.
There is now: pf comes with 64bit statistic counters. For now you can put them on one interface only, but in future version there will be more flexible statistics. Additionally there are many accounting programs out there which utilize various existing (32bit) counters or the [i]pf[w] interfaces: sysutils/ipa or net-mgmt/ipacctd to name just two off the top of my head.
ipfw has 64bit counters since a long time ago (4.0 IIRC):
65000 177297231221 62940387223290 allow ip from any to any
