Hey all,

  Does the /proc/net/dev file "roll-over" after a certain number of packets 
have been transmitted?  I've been downloading Redhat 7.2 iso's today and 
they weigh in at about 3GB - I've downloaded 2.2 GB so far but if I cat the 
aforementioned file here is what I get (edited to be more readable).

Receive:

          bytes           packets

eth0:   526 928 908      14 120 236
eth1: 1 239 783 644      12 518 146


Transmit:

          bytes            packets

eth0:  1 321 054 569     14 284 771
eth1:     73 717 066     13 736 556


And I'm almost positive it was higher earlier today (cause I remember 
thinking "wow - thats all I've transfered in 60 days??"), I think it was a 
little over 2 GB then.  So if anyone out there can answer this burning 
question, I'd appreciate it.
