Re: {bb} monitor ethernet traffic

[JRGryskiewicz@hormel.com]

ok, I have started running the netstat with larrd, and I have some graphs
showing up that look very nice.

But ... Looking at the netstat tcp graph, which shows "in, "out", and
"retransmit".  I see in the netstat-bf.sh script is running a netstat -sp
tcp command.  Could someone explain exactly what the "in","out", and
"retransmit" means?  Is this the number of packets?  Actual amount of data?

I'm not real sure about what it is showing me.

Thanks!
Jared

I think the normal LARRD "netstat" plugin works with AIX. So
you need to install the LARRD "bottom-feeder" on your AIX box
and enable collection of "netstat" data.

Doesn't give statistics per ethernet card, but it does count the
TCP and UDP packets going in and out.
