Transmit and Receive statistics of bond NIC not match the sum of slave NICs

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • The Transmit and Receive statistics of bond NIC does not match the sum of slave NICs on my server.
  • The bond is comprised of 4 NICs. From /proc/net/dev, the traffic volume of the bond NIC is approximately 200 MiB/s. But, the sum of the 4 NICs is approximately 900 MiB/s, which should be the same as the bond.
  • The discrepancy can grow after reboot the bond NIC.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
