Shown by GNOME system monitor.
Is there any way to see these statistics from the command line?

Found it!

Code: Select all

netstat -s |grep Octet
Why "octet" and not "byte"? Wikipedia tells us:
The term is often used when the term byte might be ambiguous, as the byte has historically been used for storage units of a variety of sizes.
