Ethernet Media Independent Interface Kernel Statistics
The Ethernet Media Independent Interface (MII) Kernel Statistics help keep the state of the link. They are very useful statistics for Ethernet interfaces, as they can be used for troubleshooting physical layer problems with a network connection. These statistics cover MII and GMII. Note that in some cases with the Fast Ethernet or Fiber-only devices some of the statistics might not apply.
