Performance Counter - Network Interface

[Grant_Aust]

Hi all,
I am building a simple network monitor to show the current real-time traffic
in and out of the network.

Using the PerformaceCounter object set to the category of Network Interface
seems to be a little unreliable. Has anyone else found this?

Calling the NextValue method on the object should supply correct data for
the instance (network card) I have set, but it just seems to jump all over
the place. Measurements taken ever 1 second.

Any other options for getting the Bytes Received/Sent ?

Has anyone ever paid much attention to the actual data received from the
Performance Counter for Network Interface? I am comparing the output I get
from it to another network monitor (commercial one), and they don't read the
same????
