[c-nsp] Understanding Out/Input bytes in Interface Counters on 2811

[Peter Subnovic]

Hi,

thanks again to all who replied, i appreciate it.

To answer your question:

The reported Volume from the ISP is 300GB but the interface counter for
output bytes are "only" showing 3 Billion bytes (3GB) and input bytes are
at around 750 MB in a timeframe of 6 weeks (just checked when the counters
were cleared for the last time).

If you need any additional info, just ask.

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Peter
