[tcpdump-workers] [PATCH] ifSpeed in sFlow is 64 bits not 32

2011-05-27 Thread Rick Jones
The ifSpeed field of a generic interface counter in sFlow is 64 bits. The "overlay" definition in print-sflow.c is correct, but the actual extract for printing is using EXTRACT_32BITS rather than EXTRACT_64BITS, which leads to an incorrect report for speed. Signed-off-by: Rick Jones

Would this be the number reported by ifconfig?
