Yes, I know that x86_64 is currently off-topic on this list. However, it exposed a problem.
The problem is that iproute2 wraps its traffic counters at 4GB (i.e., uses 32-bit counters), while the old "ifconfig" command from net-tools doesn't. Unwrapped (64-bit) counters are, obviously, available from /proc/net/dev. So, is our "by default, use iproute2 only" choice justified enough? -- Alexander E.
