Hi man,

As I think if You want to see data in MB You have to divide two times by 1024.
First is kB and second MB.

How to do it:

netstat -v en0 | grep ^Bytes | awk '{ print $ 2 }'|xargs -I{} echo "{} / 1024 / 1024" |bc

but, please check it I am not sure.

I am using entstat command to monitor AIX ethernet bandwidth.
