It depends on device driver. Some drivers access hardware counters maintained by MAC and can display these counters with sysctl(8). In addition these counters are used to update statistics counters in ifnet which can be checked with netstat(1). For example, em(4), age(4), sf(4), bge(4), bce(4) provide sysctl interface. -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
