This is because either counter by itself isn't very helpful. Let's say you
saw 10000 packets in a one minute period. If these were 64-byte packets,
that's only 640kb, not a big deal. However, if these are 1500-byte packets,
you're now approaching 15Mb. That's a pretty significant difference!
To get a more realistic idea of your traffic flows, you really need to count
both the number of bytes and packets.
