NAME

       ethstats — Quickly display statistics of network interfaces

SYNOPSIS

       ethstats

Description

       The  ethstats utility is a quick way to display network interface statistics.  After invoking the command
       the following information will appear every 10 seconds for each interface and a line with totals  of  all
       interfaces:

       eth0:    1.00 Mb/s In     1.15 Mb/s Out -      1032.0 p/s In 2300.0 p/s Out

       The  data shown is in and out speeds in megabits per second and in and out counts for packets per second.
       This data is obtained by comparing /proc/net/dev each sampling. (Therefore, this tool is Linux specific)
