Print Network RX/TX traffic based on windows Get-NetAdapterStatistics cmdlet delta.
This script provide innacurate data, since it's a delta traffic that windows provide, that is refreshed on each seccond. # Use this script only for test purpouse.
- Download the file
WinPrintTraffic.ps1on your "Documents" directory - Make shure that your system fullfil the requirements bellow:
- windows 10
- powershell 5.1
- powershell NetAdapter module
Open the powershell terminal, and navigate to the "Documents" directory, where you save your file, and execute as bellow:
PS C:\Users\My_User\Documents> .\WinPrintTraffic.ps1
Firts it will prompt to the user for selecting the network interface:
PS C:\Users\My_User\Documents> .\WinPrintTraffic.ps1
InterfaceDescription ifIndex

VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter 17
Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (6) I219-LM 12
Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter 62
Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz 6
Input the ifIndex for monitoring :
Once the ifIndex is selected, the script will get the RX/TX traffic from Get-NetAdapterStatistics, convert to bits, calculate the delta and print that information:
