if you're dealing with a particular host you can also get that
information from the networking tools in linux,

either

ifconfig -a

netstat -ine

will provide RX/TX numbers
if you want a complete dump of the networking stats so far

netstat -ns

these tools vary significantly between systems, the linux and BSD
versions have different options and syntax, and a slightly different
underlying model.
