I have written simple network traffic monitor to get transfer rate in B/s and/or total data transfer (in B). However when I test it by transferring a file with ftp (using Total Commander) I just can not make it measure total transfer as a size of the file. It always give much lower size than actual one. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong.. The BPF filter I set is
