Network

The network interfaces from /proc/net/dev and /sys/class/net.

  • Rates: live receive and transmit rates, computed from the time actually elapsed between samples, and the total counters.
  • Addresses: IPv4 and IPv6.
  • State: ● up, ○ down, ◌ dormant, or ◌ unknown (for example the loopback interface).
  • Details: Enter shows the MAC address, MTU, packet counts, errors and dropped packets.

Rates start over cleanly when an interface appears, disappears, or /proc/net/dev cannot be read for a moment, instead of showing a spike.
