The Interface Statistics table contains attributes on status and data flow through the interface on a z/OS(R) system. The statistics that are returned by the request are similar to those in the output of the NETSTAT DEVLINKS/-d report. Statistics are provided for all strategic interface types except for VIPA interfaces; the stack does not maintain counters for VIPA interfaces.
