Kernel support for ifInOctets and ifOutOctets was not added until
kernel version 2.1.15. When snmpd is run on older kernels, the values
of ifInOctets and ifOutOctets are estimated based on the number of
received and transmitted packets. To get accurate values of
ifInOctets and ifOutOctets, you must run kernel 2.1.15 or later.
