Or you could just do this:

watch -n1 netstat -ni

Also, if you're looking to see what cores are being hammered during processing:

cat /proc/interrupts and look for lines matching your device (if present):

 139:         37          0          0          0          0
0    4605821          0  IR-PCI-MSI 1048576-edge      enp2s0
 140:          0       2328          0          0   42268740
0          0          0  IR-PCI-MSI 1048577-edge      enp2s0-TxRx-0
 141:          0          0        243          0          0
0          0    1650980  IR-PCI-MSI 1048578-edge      enp2s0-tx-1
 142:          0          0          0    8748551          0
0          0          0  IR-PCI-MSI 1048579-edge      enp2s0-tx-2
 143:          0          0          0          0        189
1341058          0          0  IR-PCI-MSI 1048580-edge
enp2s0-tx-3

That's for an 8 core Skylake CPU on my desktop.

Something like this will let you see it in 1 second intervals to see
which core is getting the interrupts during network stuff:

watch -n1 "cat /proc/interrupts | grep enp2s0"

YMMV and all that.
