Building an Ethernet bandwidth monitor - Suggestio

Mark S,
That's some good information you provided. Basically I would have to use the wiznet adapter at a MAC level (layer 2) and count the bits.
Do you know if bps data is readily available off the chip or I would have actually count the bits?
Looks like I would have to use either one of those WIZ811 or WIZ810 but I am a little afraid at the fact that these devices use SPI. How do you interface SPI with the Arduino?
Also you mentioned some sample code on their website. I looked everywhere (FAQ, Support, Q&A, forum) but I couldn't find anything. Do you happen to have a copy you can send to me?

Thanks
