Close. But then an interviewer would follow up with 'whats the
difference?'. Then you would explain the differences in terms of what the
counters actually count - layer 3 vs layer 2. Dont forget to account for
preamble, inter packet gap, .1q, etc as they all eat into the line rate.
If you're a real smart-arse, you would conclude that a 96 bit counter would
never overflow as the vendor who chose that size probably has buggy
software that would crash well before then...
