A statistics interface for a media access controller is described. The media access controller core includes a receive engine configured to provide a receive statistics vector associated with receive traffic. The receive engine is configured to output the receive statistics vector within an inter-frame gap over a number of receive clock cycles, where a portion of the receive statistics vector is provided with each clock cycle of the receive clock cycles.
