Description Julio Entrena Perez 2011-03-03 17:28:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
When running 'iptraf' in detailed mode on the active slave of an active-backup bonding (mode 1), 'iptraf' does not report the incoming packets/traffic.

Only the outgoing packets/traffic are reported.
Total (incoming+outgoing) information is wrong too.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iptraf-3.0.1-13.el6

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check which slave is the active one:
# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 | grep Active
Currently Active Slave: eth1

2. Start 'iptraf' with detailed statistics on the active slave:
iptraf -d eth1
  
Actual results:
No incoming packets/bytes are reported (the columns stay at 0).
Total packets/bytes is missing the incoming traffic.

Expected results:
Incoming packets/bytes are reported.
Total packets/bytes information is accurate.

Additional info:
Detailed statistics on the bonding interface (iptraf -d bond0) are accurate.
