[nycbug-talk] Mac network stats question

[Brian Cully]

	I don't know what GUI you're talking about, but the raw data is in  
the kernel, naturally. According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1126790/how-to-get-network-adapter-stats-in-linux-mac-osx 
  you can get it from sysctl, but it doesn't appear you can get it  
directly from sysctl on the cli. The netstat command also outputs this  
stuff if you use the -i flag.
