You are correct but wrong. The OP asked the wrong question, but you
gave him the right answer concerning the speed<GRIN>.<br>
<br>
He meant to ask if 1Gb is reported as 125MB/sec. <br>
<br>
Switch ports and NIC's are advertised as bits/sec, not Bytes/sec. In
abreviations, b means bits and B means Bytes. And if you do the math
indeed:<br>
<br>
1Gb/sec equals 125MB/sec<br>

I have a similar configuration with 1GB and 10GB port cards on a Unix

Do I just need to add 64 bit counters to get the correct metrics?

from ifSpeed, which has a maximum of about 4Gb/s. For higher-speed

I can imagine it is reporting that. I guess I had best go write a patch
for that....
But I don't have any 10G interfaces yet - they are on order, but I'm not
expecting to be able to install them before the middle of January. If I
write a patch, can I ask you to test it?
