<p>If you do a ifconfig eth0 you get some info about the eth0 nic</p>
<p>eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:B3:63:EF:43<br> inet addr:x.x.x.x Bcast:x.x.x.x Mask:x.x.x.x<br> UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1<br> RX packets:1166 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0<br>
TX packets:268 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0<br> collisions:0 txqueuelen:100<br> RX bytes:104255 (101.8 Kb) TX bytes:19936 (19.4 Kb)<br> Interrupt:5 Base address:0x2000</p>
<p><br>I wounder about RX bytes and TX bytes, what does it mean, how does it collect its data<br>How often does it zero the counters, every boot, hour or somethings else?. Is the information reliable</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks </p>
