It's output from 'netstat -i' ...

xl0             Interface name
1500            MTU for this interface
<Link>          Normally the network this interface connects to, but since
                  this is the link layer interface, it just says <Link>
00:50...        Address for this interface (MAC address in this case)
303732          Total input packets (packets received from network)
0               Total input errors
260498          Total output packets (packets sent to network)
0               Total output errors
