This isn't really relevant when the scripts compares the values to those of a second ago, is it? (And yes, I do want stats to the second; some of the programs/machines running on the LAN are sensitive to minor disruptions in network connectivity.) Am I right to assume that, if the difference in RX bytes (as seen by ifconfig) for one network over a given period of time is, say, 1024, then 1 kB of traffic has been received by that network connection? In particular, does this include traffic that goes through the machine? Thanks.
