What is the unexpected behavior?

I run different network simulations on my device (for example mininet), that create new network interfaces in the OS. Vitals detect these interfaces once created however, when the simulation ends and the interfaces are deleted, they are not removed from the extension causing wrong bandwidth estimation.

Steps to reproduce the unexpected behavior.

1. install mininet pip install mininet
2. run mininet sudo mn --topo=single,5
3. notice how interfaces appear in Vitals
4. stop mininet sudo mn -c
5. notice how the interfaces are not removed from vitals and the bandwidth estimation is wrong
