Greetings:

I am having difficulties porting SNMP software from Linux to NetBSD
that is dependent on the very useful and handy information and
statistics that Linux provides in its "/proc/net/" directory:

arp        igmp6          ip_mr_vif   raw6       snmp          tcp6
atm/       ip6_flowlabel  ipv6_route  route      snmp6         tr_rif
dev        ip_fwchains    netlink     rpc/       sockstat      udp
dev_mcast  ip_fwnames     netstat     rt6_stats  sockstat6     udp6
if_inet6   ip_masquerade  psched      rt_acct    softnet_stat  unix
igmp       ip_mr_cache    raw         rt_cache   tcp           wireless

Of course "snmp", "dev", "tcp", "udp", and "route" are most needed.

For example, in Linux, a simple "cat /proc/net/snmp" command gives:

And a "cat /proc/net/dev" command gives:

It is easy to see how beneficial this info can be.  Any chance that
something like this will be soon added to NetBSD-current, into either
the procfs or kernfs filesystems?  Thanks in advance.
