The NET statistics shown in EXA_MONITOR_LAST_DAY counts network traffic on system level: It adds up traffic over all existing networking interfaces.

Problem
In complex network setups e.g. bonding over redundant networks, this traffic is counted twice (logical and physical interface).

Fix
This duplication is considered a bug and will be fixed.

Changed behavior

The fix will cut in half the NET values in EXA_MONITOR if bonding/virtual network interfaces are used. So the column shows correct and consistent values compared to other statistics like profiling.
