is set it up to monitor the interface connected to the

Does something like this work for you?
I don't know.
Using
<https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/iproute2/ip.8.en.html>
I was not able to parse the given example.
The output shown for the example hints at "Yes".
I'll have to investigate the references under "See Also".
A reference WITHOUT a link referred to "IP Command reference
ip-cref.ps".
A search lead to <http://linux-ip.net/gl/ip-cref/> which
EXPLICITLY stated "It is not a tutorial or user's guide."
But that's what I need. Where should I look?
After a little looking around, I found this tutorial that on the
surface of it seems to be pretty comprehensive.

AIR, iptables will keep statistics on each rule, and that you can
design a rule to handle all traffic going out and another one to
handle incomming traffic, by looking at the statistics associated
with each rule, you will have the information you need.
