How to reset ifconfig counters?
When i run ifconfig eth0 see following lines:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:42:81:a7
inet addr:10.0.2.15 Bcast:10.0.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX bytes:8001 (8.0 KB) TX bytes:34004 (34.0 KB)
How can i reset these counters especially RX/TX packets?

Yes you can reset counters by restarting your computer, but is it a good choice? Is it comfortable to close all programs and restart computer to just reset some counters? You suggest Restart Engineering dude, it is not a solution.

Those counters are kept by the kernel, so your answer depends on how your network card driver is built. Two possible choices:
- Kernel module
- Inside the kernel
If it is second, you can not reset counters without restarting the operating system. If it is first, you can do it by unloading the module from the kernel and then loading it back again. If your NIC card use e1000 module, use following commands:
ifconfig eth0 down
modprobe -r e1000
modprobe e1000
ifconfig eth0 up
Use ethtool to find out your NIC moudle:
ethtool -i eth0
In front of driver you see your module name:
driver: e1000
version: 7.3.21-k8-NAPI
firmware-version:
...
Use apt-get to install ethtool as follow:
apt-get install ethtool

modprobe -runloads the driver from the kernel (which could leave you without a method of accessing the machine), so if you are doing this remotely I would advise just rebooting instead.

@Score_Under: A better solution for remote access is writing these command to a bash script file and then run it withnohup, i.e:nohup bash restart_counters_script.sh

Do you know how can I do this with loopback interface? Also: is possible to just unbind/bind the driver without removing the kernel module?
