Get-vNetworkTraffic

First I developed the Get-vNetworkTrafficPerfCounter, but then I noticed that perfmon queries are too slow and so I developed the Get-vNetworkTrafficWMI.

Get-vNetworkTraffic with WMI (faster than Perf-Counters) - v1.8

.Synopsis
   Get-vNetworkTraffic (WMI)
.DESCRIPTION
   Shows the Traffic of the vNICs of the VMs on a Hyper-V Node
.EXAMPLE
   Get-vNetworkTrafficWMI -ComputerName <ComputerName>
.EXAMPLE
   Get-vNetworkTrafficWMI -ComputerName HyperVNode01 -VMName VM01 -Unit MB/s -SortBy Adapter
