[SOLVED] What is systeminfo reporting on (here eth0 stats)?

Add-ons Bindings

I am running systeminfo on the rPi, and wonder what it is actually reading or accumulating, when I look at network stats.

Here the OH sitemap:

Data sent 399
Data received 1659
Packets sent 1208123
Packets received 1718945

While ifconfig says:

ifconfig
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.5  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether b8:27:eb:71:48:b3  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 1717262  bytes 1739864136 (1.6 GiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 3623  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 1206852  bytes 418121855 (398.7 MiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 65536
        inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
        loop  txqueuelen 1000  (Local Loopback)
        RX packets 34335  bytes 2758285 (2.6 MiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 34335  bytes 2758285 (2.6 MiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

Any ideas?

Looks pretty obvious. Packet count is only off by 0.1%.
Data sent/received appears to be measured in MB-size chunks.

I have to guess because I can’t find a document that says. The binding is just calling on OSHI, and OSHI doesn’t have any documentation either.
