I noticed on my of my routers: 2403558863 packets input, 2476827328 bytes thats: 2,403,558,863 packets input, 2,476,827,328 bytes which when divided out, comes to 1.03 bytes per packet, which without saying is obviously in error. So, when does a Cisco counter 'flip' ? How many bits is it? -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization. I route, therefore I am.
