"Historic evolution".

My most recent discovery is counters on ATM interfaces in 12.3(x) - the
"show int" counters *on ATM sub-interfaces* now actually display a 64 bit
value, which is something I'm quite happy about - it hints at some serious
cleanup going on:

Cisco>sh int atm3/0.33
...
  34390503 packets input, 20806468737 bytes
  32678669 packets output, 14815888485 bytes 
...

"20806468737" is about 4.8 times the "32 bit wraparound" value.

Now while *that* is promising...

... the ATM base interface still displays the 32 bit value only :-(

Cisco>sh int atm3/0
...
     2915264747 packets input, 943661063 bytes, 36 no buffer
...
     2967493553 packets output, 550529127 bytes, 0 underruns

(obviously less than the subif, even if the master is supposed to count
all the packets of all subifs)

... and all other "real" interfaces on the box still do only 32 bit
counters on "show int".

But then: there is work going on, and this is promising.
