In this show output after the
clear vrrp statistics command has been entered, you can see that the statistical counters have been reset. Although some of the counters are showing numbers because VRRP traffic is still flowing, the numbers are much lower (6 transmissions instead of 60 transmissions) than in the initial
show vrrp command output.
