Re: Interface Status Traffic Counter Resetting?

actually, the 32 bit limit is not a result of the underlying operating
system.  if you generate more than 4GB of traffic, then close your wan
connection and look at the system log, you'll see the traffic is correctly
reported.  it seems the traffic passed is being captured with more than 32
bits, but the gui likely uses a 32 bit variable to report it.

anyone?
