Is there a simple way to measure traffic passed by an interface in FreeBSD?
IPFM looks like it will do the trick from the ports collection, but it
would be nice to have access to this info without installing extra
software. For instance...
If I run ifconfig -a on linux, the RX and TX received packets tell moe or
less how much traffic has been passed on the interface.
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:4B:05:34:2B
inet addr:10.0.0.3 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:22317173 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:8773031 errors:9 dropped:0 overruns:1 carrier:8
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:10 Base address:0x6800
Thanks,
