nicstat - Update for Solaris only
Update - August 2009
That's more like it - we should get plenty of coverage now :)
A colleague pointed out to me that nicstat's method of calculating utilization for a full-duplex interface is not correct.
Now nicstat will look for the kstat "link_duplex" value, and if it is 2 (which means full-duplex), it will use the greater of rbytes or wbytes to calculate utilization.
No change to the Linux version. Use the links in my previous post for downloading.

This is a personal weblog, I do not speak for my employer.
This is great. We had taken to ignoring the util% column of nicstat and computing our own metric based on the actual throughput. Thanks a bunch.
