Kernel support for ifInOctets and ifOutOctets was not added until kernel version 2.1.15. When snmpd is run on older kernels, the values of ifInOctets and ifOutOctets are estimated based on the number of received and transmitted packets. To get accurate values of ifInOctets and ifOutOctets, you must run kernel 2.1.15 or later. David -- David Engel ODS Networks [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1001 E.
