showing transfer bytes using ifconfig?

[Hyperblaze]

I'm wondering if there is a way to show the transfered bytes under a network device in freebsd


if I type "ifconfig fxp0" for example I get.


fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
inet6 fe80::208:c7ff:fe45:1de%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 00:08:c7:45:01😀e
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active

However, in Linux I get something like this.

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:39:56:4C:32
inet addr:192.168.2.235 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::200:39ff:fe56:4c32/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:118 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:155 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:27661 (27.0 KiB) TX bytes:17250 (16.8 KiB)

Thanks for any assistance.

Me too. That started out as a guess, a quick man netstat confirmed the guess. 😉
