Hello,
Just discovered that counters returned by the "ip" tool are truncated:
# ip -s link show bond0
1: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
link/ether 00:1d:09:67:6e:2f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
RX: bytes packets errors dropped overrun mcast

TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns
3023237974 9345397 0 0 0 0
# ifconfig bond0
bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1D:09:67:6E:2F

inet6 addr: fe80::21d:9ff:fe67:6e2f/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MASTER MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:2485631020 (2370.4 Mb) TX bytes:7318232294 (6979.2 Mb)
Is it possible to get 64-bit counters in ip via netlink? Struct
rtnl_link_stats does not look very optimistic, as it has rx_bytes/tx_bytes
defined with __u32.
Best regards,
Krzysztof Olędzki
