So I typed netstat -I rl0 -b and got the answer Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Ibytes Opkts Oerrs Obytes Coll rl0 1500 00:50:ba:d3:a8:0a 1460837 0 213986862 348799 0 140996485 0 rl0 1500 fe80:1::250 fe80:1::250:baff: 0 - 0 0 - 0 - rl0 1500 12-216-240-0. home 89752 - 24681411 348729 - 136111101 - Now I am wondering which one actually represents my true throughput. I am guessing that the first answer includes the many "arp who-has"s that I keep getting on my @home connection. Would it be true to say that it is the third line that represents the true throughput?
