Or the other method is that read TX/RX from ethernet driver (/sys/class/net/{Ethernet_Name}), then calculate the BW/Drop package rate. After that, we will need to register the D-Bus interface and sync the property info to that D-Bus.

Is this something that systemd-networkd might be interested in exposing?  We
should ask this question upstream there to see if they would be interested in
the contribution.

I'd prefer using the sysfs interface direction rather than wrapping a tool in
`system()` calls.  

Did you mean 'iperf'?  How do you get the drop rate from that?  Don't you need
another system to act as the other side of iperf?
