IIS SNMP Counters

Hi Folks,

I would like to know the main reason why IIS has this SNMP counters:

totalBytesSentHighWord
The high 32-bits of the total number of bytes sent by the FTP server.

totalBytesSentLowWord
The low 32-bits of the total number of bytes sent by the FTP server.

What is the main reason to return the high (and low) 32-bits splited?

Thank you.

Olavo..

Im a network management system developer and now working in a IIS support,
and while looking their SNMP Mib I found some confuse informations. Whats the
differente between the 'high 32-bits' and the 'low 32-bits' in the total
BYTES send and received by HTTP/FTP Server in the IIS Counters MIB? Why in my
teste server only the 'low 32-bits' are incremented?

thanks...
