My estimate would still hold with anything smaller than fully saturated 10GBit
network connection. I still think that 64bit counter will not wrap around during
the effective life time of the Bind 10 project.

But even in case we find out there's a case when it could overflow, I think the
right solution is then to use a library for long numbers and not try to hack
around the fact the number can get lower at various places scattered around the
code.

With regards
