|  | Overview | 
|  | ******** | 
|  |  | 
|  | Network statistics are collected if :option:`CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS` is set. | 
|  | Individual component statistics for IPv4 or IPv6 can be turned off | 
|  | if those statistics are not needed. See various options in | 
|  | :zephyr_file:`subsys/net/ip/Kconfig.stats` file for details. | 
|  |  | 
|  | By default, the system collects network statistics per network interface. This | 
|  | can be controlled by :option:`CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS_PER_INTERFACE` option. | 
|  |  | 
|  | The :option:`CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS_USER_API` option can be set if the | 
|  | application wants to collect statistics for further processing. The network | 
|  | management interface API is used for that. See :ref:`net_mgmt_interface` for | 
|  | details. | 
|  |  | 
|  | The :option:`CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS_ETHERNET` option can be set to collect | 
|  | generic Ethernet statistics. If the | 
|  | :option:`CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS_ETHERNET_VENDOR` option is set, then | 
|  | Ethernet device driver can collect Ethernet device specific statistics. | 
|  | These statistics can then be transferred to application for processing. | 
|  |  | 
|  | If the :option:`CONFIG_NET_SHELL` option is set, then network shell can | 
|  | show statistics information with ``net stats`` command. |
