This sends the total bytes sent and received for each interface, except local.
One thing we should think about is how to track the delta.
A potential issue I anticipate is a connection crashing, making it look like the device has consumed a lot of data from its first report.
I wonder if we should track the previous total in link and only send the delta. If there is no previous total, we send zeros.
But the downside of this is that if a report isn't received and processed, we will miss some data. Sooooo maybe, we send totals, but we cache the first report and use that for the baseline for future reports.
