## Historique du projet et usages

ifstat is a small network-interface statistics tool by Gael Roualland. Its upstream page describes it as doing for network interfaces what vmstat and iostat do for other system counters.

The tool reports interface activity by reading operating-system counters directly, with optional SNMP support for remote hosts, routers, and switches.

### Historique du projet

The release history begins with v0.1 on 2001-12-02, supporting Linux 2.2 and /proc. Within days, v0.2 added FreeBSD ifmib, Solaris kstat, interface discovery, and man pages.

During 2001 and 2002 the tool gained BSD kvm support, ucd-snmp support, Debian and RPM packaging support, loopback handling, multiple driver support, timestamping, and cleaner internal driver structure.

Version 1.0 in 2003 broadened Unix support with IRIX, OpenBSD, BSD route sysctl, improved kvm, terminal resizing behavior, total bandwidth reporting, and static library support. Version 1.1 in 2004 added Digital Unix, Tru64, AIX, HP-UX, Win32, and net-snmp-config integration.

### Historique d'adoption

ifstat spread through classic Unix packaging channels because it solved a simple operational problem with a familiar interface: repeatable interface counters in a terminal. The supplied metadata lists Homebrew, Debian, Fedora, MacPorts, and Ubuntu package names.

Its adoption is also tied to portability. The upstream README lists Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, IRIX, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Darwin, Digital Unix, AIX, HP-UX, and Win32 support, which made it useful on mixed Unix estates before Linux-only tooling dominated.

### Modes d'utilisation

Users run ifstat to watch receive and transmit rates for one or more interfaces. The README's usage section reduces the basic workflow to running the command and watching statistics update.

Administrators can use the build-time driver options to force or disable platform backends, and SNMP support lets the same style of output poll remote equipment when net-snmp or ucd-snmp is available.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

ifstat is the sort of boring CLI package that explains why Unix package collections matter: it wraps many incompatible kernel-counter APIs behind one tiny command.

It also shows an older portability style, where configure checks, optional drivers, and per-OS counter backends made one C utility useful across a surprising number of operating systems.

### Chronologie

- 2001-12-02: v0.1 initial implementation with Linux /proc support.
- 2001-12-04: v0.2 adds FreeBSD ifmib and Solaris kstat support.
- 2001-12-24: v0.4 adds SNMP support through ucd-snmp.
- 2002-01-17: v0.5 adds packaging support and multiple driver work.
- 2003-04-21: v1.0 expands BSD and terminal behavior features.
- 2004-01-01: v1.1 adds more Unix and Win32 support.

### Related projects

- vmstat and iostat are the conceptual models named by upstream.
- net-snmp, ucd-snmp, wmnet, and OS-specific kernel interfaces such as /proc/net/dev, kstat, ifmib, route sysctl, kvm, and GetIfTable are closely related to its implementation and use.
