netcounts - a package for monitoring network activity

Overview

The netcounts package provides a Go API for monitoring network traffic. It works by parsing the command output of the ifconfig program.

$ git clone https://github.com/tinkerator/netcounts.git
$ cd netcounts
$ go get
$ go build examples/watch.go
$ ./watch

The default output summarizes total packets and bytes transferred over all of the non-loopback network devices.

License info

The netcounts package is distributed with the same BSD 3-clause license as that used by golang itself.
