nicstat - the Solaris Network Monitoring Tool You Did Not Know You NeededUpdateOn the prompting of a number of colleagues, I have written a Linux version of nicstat. It is included in the links below. HistoryA few years ago, a bloke I know by the name of Brendan Gregg wrote a Solaris kstat-based utility called nicstat. Last year, I decided I needed to use this utility to capture network statistics in testing I do. Then I got a request from a colleague in PAE to do something about nicstat not being aware of "e1000g" interfaces. I have spent a bit of time adding to nicstat since then, so I thought I would make the improved version available.
Why Should I Still Be Interested?nicstat is to network interfaces as "iostat" is to disks, or "prstat" is to processes. It is designed as a much better version of "netstat -i". Its differences include:
How about an example?

Note - the binaries will probably work on earlier releases of Solaris - as Solaris is just like that...
