Digital Unix keeps track of the byte counts transferred in each direction
on network interfaces. I can't find anyplace in netbsd or any other system
where this info is available.

Is there some stat interface I'm unaware of, or are the various per-packet
stats all we have?  Is there any interest in seeing byte counts kept?

My interest is in seeing the ultimate figure of merit: bytes-transferred-
per-second.  Of course, I'm mainly interested in this as a percentage of
wire speed.
