[Win7] net_io_counters bytes_sent and bytes_recv are always 0

[rukechen]

Hi:

I got one issue on Win7.

My psutil version is 4.1.0.

I always got bytes_sent and bytes_recv with zero value.

How can I transform from packets_sent to bytes_sent?

3, packets_recv=32484, errin=0, errout=0, dropin=0, dropout=0), 'Loopback Pseudo

, errin=0, errout=0, dropin=0, dropout=0)}

I won't have time to look into this anytime soon but it looks like a C typing issue of some sort.

I have the same problem. I'm working at Win7 64 and I have some loopback network interfaces and would like to monitoring the packets of those, and I'm always getting 0. Would be very helpful to see the traffic of those network interfaces.

psutil 5.2.0

Are the values of all network interfaces set to 0? I also have different (virtual) NICs returning 0. Please paste the output.

Only the connected physical network interface is getting traffic data count. I'm sending and receiving data at the loopbacks 1 and 2.
