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. -- http://Zoneverte.org -- information explained Do you know what your IT infrastructure does?
