Displays an auto-updating per-second count of the number of packets and bytes being handled by each specified NIC, and on multi-queue NICs shows the per-queue statistics too.
Usage: ethq [-g] [-t] <interface> [interface ...].
With -t specified the display just scrolls on the terminal, otherwise
it runs in an auto-refreshing window.
For information about the -g flag see "NIC Support", below.
This software only runs on Linux. It requires a C++11 compiler and the NCurses library.
The format of the names of the statistics values from a NIC is highly driver specific.
The code currently supports the output from the following NIC drivers:
- Amazon AWS
ena - Broadcom
bnx2,bnx2x,tg3,bnxt_en - Emulex
be2net - Intel
e1000e,igb,ixgbe,i40e,iavf,ice - Mellanox
mlx5_core,mlx4_en - NXP
fsl_dpaa2_eth - RealTek
r8169 - Solarflare
sfc - Virtio
virtio_net - VMware
vmxnet3
The -g flag allows for fallback to a generic driver that knows how
to parse statistics in this format:
rx_packets: 567425
tx_packets: 274383
rx_bytes: 703224479
tx_bytes: 31313190
To request support for additional NICs, please raise a github issue and
include the output of ethtool -i and attach the output of ethtool -S
for your interface.
