I try to monitor my linux-box acting as a DSL router (using pppoe). Configuring the ppp0 interface using traffstats will only monitor the interface until the next reconnect enforced by my provider. If I reconfigure traffstats I can see that the old ppp0 interface is no mor active, but instead a new ppp0 interface using a new snmp nummber has shown up and is now active.
This raises a question in my hed: why is it not possible to query a interface by name, so the system should allways use the active interface named ppp0.
