Network usage
Hello,

I need to collect the network usage in linux 6.5 version ,report like max/min/average speed ,I know some of the command like netstats -s /ifconfig but I am not sure which part of the output will be used to extract this info.I can't install any new tool like nload,iftop,vnstat.

Start with the array of /proc/net entries.

"speed" is how you choose to measure it. Unless you monitor constantly you cannot get anything meaningful for:max,min, or average. Unless one of your /proc/net entries has something useful. I do not know what 6.5 has offhand.

/proc/net has all other files which mainly has zero size files.I am not sure what do you mean by monitoring constantly, if i can put some script that collect the stats constantly say for every 5 minutes or so but i need the command specifically used to collect the stats of the network so that i can calculate the speed.And I don't have option to install anything new tools on the server as I am not the root user.

They are not real files. Everything in /proc is an interface to the kernel itself.

Code:
$ ls -l /proc/net/netstat
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 16:26 /proc/net/netstat
$ cat /proc/net/netstat
