Hi!

Question:
What do the Recv column in 'netstat -B' show?

I thought it was tha amount of packets received, but appaently not so.

I send 2000000 packets from a tcpreplay machine to a receiving machine.
I do it a few times.

On the receiver I see:
netstat -in
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Idrop Opkts Oerrs Coll ix0 1500 <Link#1> 0c:c4:7a:58:e2:3c 0 0 0 0 0 0 ix1 1500 <Link#2> 0c:c4:7a:58:e2:3d 6000000 0 0 0 0 0

and then
netstat -in
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Idrop Opkts Oerrs Coll ix0 1500 <Link#1> 0c:c4:7a:58:e2:3c 0 0 0 0 0 0 ix1 1500 <Link#2> 0c:c4:7a:58:e2:3d 8000000 0 0 0 0 0

So 6000000 has increased to 8000000. Good.


However, 'netstat -B' show:
  Pid  Netif   Flags      Recv      Drop     Match Sblen Hblen Command
25553   mon0 p--s---   1996862         0   2000000     0     0 tcpdump

How can the "Recv" be *lower* than "Match"?
1996862 < 2000000.


For every new run (fast and slow) I get the same results, slightly less than 2000000 Recv.

What am I missing?
