Subject: iptables/sparc: packet-counter/statistics problems on sparc?
Holla,
i use iptables with kernel 2.4.14 on Sparc Architecture.
In all tables (not only filter as shown below, but also nat and
mangle) I can see big problems with all packet counters:
it seems they all have somehow random values.
To maybe describe this a bit more verbose, I added a little
iptables input/output cut'n'waste below.
Is this a known problem and is this maybe fixed in some later
iptables release/kernel? I didn't find anything about it in the
changelogs back since 1.2.2.
On a intel architecture, the counters are working well with
2.4.13 kernel and with 2.4.18 kernel.
Or do I miss some module again? Uh - I know, why I'm compiling this
stuff directly into the kernel on my own machines :)
And - it seems, this is not a 'client' problem. I compiled the
1.2.6a binaries (binaries only, not kernel) and they show the
same phantastic counters, so it seems, the counters are wrong
in the kernel.
