I just downloaded a program called Surplus Meter that helps track how much bandwidth usage on your computer. I've been thinking for a while about trying to make something like this with a few twists and wondered if this forum could point me to what part of the mac framework library I could use to start seeing the bandwidth stats and content?
Thanks for the help, and answering such a newb question.

To be clear, you're looking for OS X and not iOS, right?
Most people who ask this are working on iOS, where things are quite a bit trickier.

let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@apple.com"Most likely application uses "getifaddrs" call ( https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/getifaddrs.3.html )
and read statistics from interface info.
This is typical POSIX - compartible approach, and as far as I know the only legal way to do it on iOS.
