This trick is particularly useful for those who use metered, limited quota connection like (tethered) mobile internet.
It's easy, the only difficult thing is determining device name — even more confusing (for me at least) their are two types of naming scheme: traditional which is used by kernel, and Predictable Network Interface Names which is used by Systemd.
Here are examples of commonly used connection types and their traditional and predictable names:
| Connection type | Kernel name | Systemd name |
|---|---|---|
| Ethernet | eth0 | enp5s0 |
| USB tethering | usb0 | enp5s0u3 |
| USB Modem | ppp0 | wwp0s20u3i2 |
| Wi-Fi | wlan0 | wlp2s0 |
Without further ado:
ifconfig eth0 | grep bytes
ip -s link show dev eth0
