miniupnpd doesn't update total bytes sent/receive
I tried to get router traffic information from my Orbi RBR50 using it IGD feature. When I ran the upnpc program to retrieve information, I found the total bytes received and sent never get updated an...
I just realized Orbi IGD does update bytes sent/received. After I rebooted my Orbi, my Home Assistant setup started getting those information from it. However, once the byte received count has reached 4294967295, it stays there.
It seems that Orbi clears out the counters on reboot. Apparently, those counters are recorded in 32-bit variables. When the count reaches 4294967295 = 2^32-1, it stops counting. (But I wonder why it doesn't roll back to 0.)
On second thought, it might be Home Assistant which is using 32-bit counters. I guess it's time to check the source code.
Something to let NG support know about.
