How to get network traffic statistics?

java, netty

Solution

The package `org.jboss.netty.handler.traffic` provides the classes you need. You could install a `GlobalTrafficShapingHandler` (read and write limitation = 0) in your pipeline to measure throughput and the number of bytes that went through your pipeline.

Problem

I'm using Netty 3.5.4.Final. How can one get the number of inbound and outbound transferred bytes within a single netty client/server instance? Current or average upload/download speed would be nice too.
