From 922e581a21e3c43e13da68f2584a1e249ae79fa3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: brooks Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 06:29:26 +0000 Subject: Add a new variable, ifi_epoch, to struct if_data. It is set to the last time the interface counters were zeroed, currently the time if_attach() was called. It is indentended to be a valid value for RFC2233's ifCounterDiscontinuityTime and to make it easier for applications to verify that the interface they find at a given index is the one that was there last time they looked. An if_epoch "compatability" macro has not been created as ifi_epoch has never been a member of struct ifnet.
