Hi Paul I have bytes burned into my brain, however the IETF interface YANG stats RFC 7223 - and others, typically use octets for the named packet counters so we tried to be consistent with that. Maybe a question for the RFC editor if we should change the text description or it is clear enough.

It even presents this to the user as bytes: leaf tx-octets { type yang:counter64; config false; description "Outbound Packet bytes"; } Why not use "bytes" instead of "octets" everywhere? For example RFC 9061 has: leaf bytes { type uint64; default "0"; description "If the IPsec SA processes the number of bytes expressed in this leaf, the IPsec SA expires and SHOULD be rekeyed. The value 0 implies infinite."; } It also does not use "octets" _______________________________________________ IPsec mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipsec
