I'm not sure what you are asking, but I'm fairly certain that it isn't a security question.

Are you asking for someone to explain what all of the ifconfig output means? Including net speed?

Uhh, it wasn't meant to be a joke. In fact, it was an attempt to get him to clarify the question so that someone might be able to help. |

inet addr:669.241.32.32
Is that really what it says?
If so, somthing is corrupted in kernel workspace.

You're referring to your speed to a particular server, to someone else on your local network?
To the best of my knowledge, ifconfig doesn't do that ...

You probably don't mean server CPU % load, right? You want a bandwidth report. ifconfig deffinately doesn't do that. Off the top of my head I don't know anything quick and dirty that does ...

ifconfig does not tell you anything about net speed. To see how the interface is configured i.e. 10/100mb etc use the mii-tool utility.
There are several utilities for monitoring IP traffic, iptraf, tcpdump, iftop, nload
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:61:31:A6:64
eth0 - ethernet ID
ethernet HWaddr - The address of the ethernet card. It is a unique number loaded in the interface's firmware. Also known as a MAC or Media Access Code address.
inet addr:69.241.32.32 Bcast:69.241.32.33 Mask:255.255.255.248
inet addr - The IP address assigned to the interface
bcast - Broadcast address assigned. A broadcast address is common address used to send a common message to all computers
mask - A netmask is a series of bits designed to "mask" certain portions of an IP address.
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
UP - means the network interface is active
BROADCAST - device can send traffic to all hosts on the link
MULTICAST - ethernet interface is configured to receive multicast mesages
MTU - The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest datagram than can be transmitted by an IP interface (without it needing to be broken down into smaller units).
RX packets:1197471 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
RX packets - The number of received packets
errors - Number of packets that had errors
dropped - Number of packets dropped
overruns - Number of overrun packets
frame - ?
TX packets:10606992 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Similar to previous except for transmitted packets.
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
collisions - Number of packets that had collisions with other packets
txqueuelen - Number of bytes in the transmit queue
RX bytes:152353775 (145.2 Mb) TX bytes:2026589131 (1932.7 Mb)
RX bytes - Total number of received bytes
TX bytes - Total number of transmitted bytes
Interrupt:17 Base address:0x9c00 Memory:fd000000-fd000038
Interrupt - Interrupt assigned to the ethernet interface
Base address - Base memory assigned to the ethernet interface
Memory - ?
