Ifstat ifstat is a tool to report network interfaces bandwith
just like vmstat/iostat do for other system counters.
ifstat gathers these statistics from the kernel internal
counters, which is highly operating system dependent. Right now, the
following systems are supported:
If the net-snmp (or ucd-snmp)
library is available, ifstat can use it to gather statistics
from remote equipments (hosts, routers, switches...) or even the local
host if a SNMP daemon is running.
Current version: ifstat-1.1.tar.gz [History].
Debian package woody/i386: ifstat_1.1-1_i386.deb.
Win32 package (native): ifstat-1.1-win32.zip.
ifstat's functionnalities can also be included in a static library
for use in other applications. To use it, you just have to pass
--enable-library while configuring ifstat (a debian
package woody/i386 is available here).
As a sample use, the wmnet application
has been tweaked to use libifstat as a polling backend,
which brings more OS support and SNMP polling to it.
