Hi,

bwbar uses "unsigned long long" to count the traffic. With updates every
15 seconds and roughly 3,5 GBit/sec this overflows and the displayed
information is wrong. As a workaround it might help to update more
often, but it would be nice to have correct output with high speeds and
low update frequency.

Best regards,
Carsten Otto

Hi,

there hasn't been any update to this bug and bwbar in general in the
past five years. Julien, could you please comment on this?

Best regards,
