How to monitor send/receive bytes
Hello,
I need to create a script to monitor sent/received packets for a period of time (the period of time will be a users input) and write the result to some txt file.
Is there any command (don`t want to use any 3rd party sw) what I can use?
I`m using Solaris 10.

Thank you

Try reading the snoop man page:
Code:
man snoop

Come up with suggested parameters and test them out on your system. You will quickly find the correct parameters to use.

I found netsat -s. It gives me some info. There is "tcpOutDataBytes"..is it the amount of sent bytes?And also there is "tcpInDupBytes" I assume it is not the amount of received bytes.
