Description
Basics
- I have done a basic search through the issue tracker to find similar or related issues.
- I have made myself familiar with the available features of Nushell for the particular area this enhancement request touches.
Related problem
I want to see the bandwidth used by the system, mostly to monitor progress and health check of huge downloads. I know nload in linux, but nothing in windows, it would be great if nushell gains this functionality.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a column to sys net showing the bandwidth usage of each interface, or add a column to ps showing the bandwidth used by each process.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I know no nushell based alternative for this task. We can parse output of other programs, but I don't know any cross-platform tool for this job either.

Research direction
The issue names the sys net and ps commands but does not identify files or tests. First clarify which command should expose bandwidth usage and how the measurement must work across Linux and Windows. Done should include a documented column with reliable per-interface or per-process network usage and coverage for the supported platforms.
