plugin for collisions on host

[Kevin Keane]

Keep in mind that if you measure collision rates on the host and on the 
network device, you are really measuring two very different things 
(unless you really have a hub rather than a switch); it's not a choice 
about where to measure the data, but rather about what, exactly, you are 
interested in. That is because a switch establishes individual data paths.

Therefore, a host will only see its own collisions. A switch will see 
all collisions with its neighbors.
