Incoming and outgoing packets not registered?

Below I have the output of the same interface twice. The second output has been fro ma few minutes later:

How come, that even thou packets are registered incoming and outgoing, but no bits are registered when looking at the 5 minute output? Even if I change it to 30 seconds, I don see anything, the counter stays at 0.

The five minute part is an average over the span of time configured. It's not real time.
