I'm wondering if there is currently a way to monitor the throughput of a

I've done a little exploring of the source and man pages but have yet to
find anything that seems to relate in an obvious form.
unfortunatly PCIe traffic occurs at a level below that at which the OS can
really monitor.
there would have to be some hardware support I think.
Solaris has a busstat command that can print a huge number of low-level
counters, including PCI DMA counts. If it's supported under OpenSolaris
it should be easy to check and see whether it's dependant on Sun hardware or
works with any PC (just boot it up and run busstat -l).
On a SuperMicro board:
r...@borg:~# busstat -l
busstat: No devices available in system.
r...@borg:~#
That's under OpenSolaris 2008.11
So, I expect it needs hardware support.
