Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ppp
When disconnecting or losing the connection, pppd logs traffic
statistics to syslog. Unfortunately, it seems incapable of counting
beyond 4GB, and as a result the numbers it logs are completely
incorrect. As an example this excerpt from syslog, after an upload of
5.3GB on a pppoe connection:
May 11 13:32:06 vip pppd[4902]: No response to 4 echo-requests
May 11 13:32:06 vip pppd[4902]: Serial link appears to be disconnected.
May 11 13:32:06 vip pppd[4902]: Connect time 46.9 minutes.
May 11 13:32:06 vip pppd[4902]: Sent 1329699925 bytes, received 98792391 bytes.
May 11 13:32:12 vip pppd[4902]: Connection terminated.
May 11 13:32:12 vip pppd[4902]: Modem hangup
1329699925 bytes is about 1.3GB, and as such 4 GB less than it should
have read. Reliably reproducable.
** Affects: ppp (Ubuntu)
