In linux kernel since version 2.6.12  
This provides network related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream,
currently there is only a total sum of network I/O statistics, no
per-interface data.
Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/net_sum creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
on the z/VM side.

Default is disabled.
This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
appldata_net_sum.o.
