ifconfig question


This is the ifconfig of one of my Linux servers:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:60:08:0A:3A:2B
          inet addr:192.168.1.9  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:151067034 errors:11 dropped:0 overruns:0
          TX packets:151189443 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0xfcc0 


I'm wondering if the RX/TX number rolls over at some point,  and if so what 
is the limit?  If it rolls over I think my monitoring program I'm working
on might go nuts.
