Can any body tell me how can we show network utilzation (bytes sent, bytes recieved, Throughput, Link Speed etc) of our system through sigar api?

Hi,

there are different bindings available. Check out:

http://support.hyperic.com/display/SIGAR/Home

If you want to use Java, have a look at the SIGAR sourcecode for the SIGAR shell, especially Ifconfig.java

http://github.com/hyperic/sigar/blob/master/bindings/java/src/org/hyperic/sigar/cmd/Ifconfig.java

Cheers,
Mirko

thnx @excowboy.... In this Rx means Recieved and Tx means sent....?

What is the duration/starting time of Rx packets and Tx packets RX bytes and TX bytes calculation? 
If I want to calculate Throughput percentage of bytes then following formula is true?

Throughput= (RX bytes/Sec + TX bytes/Sec) / Link Speed * 100
