    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The ethstats utility is a quick way to display network
    interface statistics.  After invoking the command the following
    information will appear every 10 seconds for each interface and a
    line with totals of all interfaces:</para>

    <para>eth0:    1.00 Mb/s In     1.15 Mb/s Out -      1032.0 p/s In
    2300.0 p/s Out</para>

    <para>The data shown is in and out speeds in megabits per second and
    in and out counts for packets per second.  This data is obtained by
    comparing /proc/net/dev each sampling. (Therefore, this tool is
    Linux specific)</para>

    <para>This application was released from an unknown source via
