.SH "Description" 
.PP 
The ethstats utility is a quick way to display network 
interface statistics.  After invoking the command the following 
information will appear every 10 seconds for each interface and a 
line with totals of all interfaces: 
.PP 
eth0:    1.00 Mb/s In     1.15 Mb/s Out \-      1032.0 p/s In 
2300.0 p/s Out 
.PP 
The data shown is in and out speeds in megabits per second and 
in and out counts for packets per second.  This data is obtained by 
comparing /proc/net/dev each sampling. (Therefore, this tool is 
Linux specific)
