Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's in bytes, and checking the code, it seems like
show_stat()
in netstat/if.c just shows the raw delta in values without scaling it by
'interval',
so I think the counts are the number of bytes sent/received in 8 seconds:
And since
bytes/8 seconds == bits/second
Q.E.D
Ah, fair enough. Clearly too subtle for my thick head. ;-)
