Does Mac OSX keep a log of network connection addresses and data transfers statistics for all of my browsing activity?

I'm trying to find logs of host addresses my computer has connected with over time as well as the corresponding counts of sent/received bytes for each of these connections. For example, the nettop command line tool shows readout of network connection addresses and data transfer rates, which refreshes every couple of seconds:



 interface state bytes in bytes out rx dupe rx ooo re-tx rtt avg rcvsize tx win
Dropbox.365 4928 KiB 3340 KiB 4498 B 13 KiB 6832 B
tcp4 192.168.1.101:50635<->162.125.33.7:443 en0 CloseWait 3784 B 1681 B 0 B 0 B 0 B 87.75 ms 128 KiB 32 KiB
tcp4 192.168.1.101:50605<->162.125.4.3:443 en0 CloseWait 16 KiB 941 B 1005 B 0 B 0 B 8.62 ms 128 KiB 30 KiB


I'm looking for files containing this same information logged over time, e.g., the complete set of network connection addresses and data transfers for the past 24 hours -- or the past week. Does the Mac OSX system maintain long term logs of such network activity?
