Issue

The net statistics reported by the sar application
are wrong, more than twice the real traffic.

You can see in the following copy-n-paste the
big difference between the statistic reported from sysstat in the RPM repository:

Average:        IFACE   rxpck/s   txpck/s
Average:        bond0  11342.37  16948.02

and the statistics reported by sysstat compiled from sources:

Average:        IFACE   rxpck/s   txpck/s
Average:        bond0   4028.37   6008.39

The averages obtained by the second sysstat is confirmed
also by the switch counters and by ifconfig with the following
commands:

# ifconfig bond0 | egrep -o 'RX packets:[0-9]+' 
# sleep 5
# ifconfig bond0 | egrep -o 'RX packets:[0-9]+'
RX packets:16831578535
RX packets:16831599072

that produce this result: (16831599072-16831578535)/5 = 4107
