Usage Notes:

• The mod is optional on both client and server sides but offers useful features for both.
• It is not compatible with Timeoutout/XL packets mod.

Commands for Network Stats:

• Client-side:
  • /connectivity packetsClient – shows outgoing traffic from the client.
• Server-side:
  • /connectivity packetsAllPlayers – lists traffic rate of all players.
  • /connectivity packetsPlayer <player> – shows packets sent to a specific player.
  • /connectivity packetsSummary – overview of all packets sent by the server.
