If I understand the man right, that numbers are packets. But ethernet  
packets are not all the same (data)size.

pppstats is different:

      IN   PACK VJCOMP  VJUNC  VJERR  |      OUT   PACK VJCOMP  VJUNC NON-VJ
  318241    590      0      0      0  |    84201    760      0      0    760

IN and OUT are _bytes_. This is what I am looking for. But just for any interface.
