Description
Queries network statistics for link layer on MacOS.Returns JSON array of objects, each with the following keys:
Name, PhysicalType, Type, MTU, Baudrate, InputPackets, InputErrors, OutputPackets, OutputErrors, Collisions, InputBytes, OutputBytes, InputMulticasts, OutputMulticasts.
Type is the type of device which includes 1 for ethernet and 6 for Wifi.
| Baudrate | The linespeed. |
| Collisions | The number of collisions on csma interfaces. |
| InputBytes | Total number of octets received. |
| InputErrors | The number of input errors on interface. |
| InputMulticasts | The number of packets received via multicast. |
| InputPackets | The number of packets received. |
| MTU | The maximum transmission unit. |
| Name | The name of the interface. |
| OutputBytes | Total number of octets sent. |
| OutputErrors | The number of output errors. |
| OutputMulticasts | The number of packets sent via multicast. |
| OutputPackets | The number of packets sent. |
| PhysicalType | The physical network type. e.g., AUI, Thinnet, 10base-T, etc |
| Type | The network type. |
