whether does it mean bytes or bits in file /proc/net/dev?
hi,all:
i have a
mrtg script to scale the network bandwidth usage.
here cames the
script:
==============================================
Title[eth0]: eth0
bits
Options[eth0]: bits
Target[eth0]: `grep eth0 /proc/net/dev | sed
's/eth0://' | awk '{print $1; print $9; print ""; print ""}'`
PageTop[eth0]:
eth0 bits
MaxBytes[eth0]: 1000000000
Ylegend[eth0]: bits
ShortLegend[eth0]: bits
XSize[eth0]: 350
YSize[eth0]:
150
Legend1[eth0]: bits
LegendI[eth0]:
input
LegendO[eth0]: output
WithPeak[eth0]:
ymwd
==============================================
i have a intel e1000
netcard.
when i cat /proc/net/dev it
tell me these:
==============================================
ftp:~# cat
/proc/net/dev
Inter-|
Receive
| Transmit
face |bytes packets errs drop fifo
frame compressed multicast|bytes packets errs drop fifo colls
carrier compressed
lo:
0 0 0

eth0:2938970759 74016701 0
0 0

0 7482 96493909 3303716266
0 0 0

0 0
==============================================
i am confused that the title is
'bytes' both Receive and Transmit. but i think 2938970759 bytes are too huge to
my e1000 netcard.
i want to know how to use the
data from /proc/net/dev to scale my netcard?
how to rewrite my mrtg script
above?
any suggestion is
regarded!
