command-line network monitor

rotis23 · 11-12-2002, 08:37 AM

afternoon (for those in the uk anyway),

does anyone know of a command-line tool to monitor network activity. i'm specifically looking for percentage of bandwidth used /throughput.

something similar to top, but for the network interface.

TIA, rotis23

You could check out IPTraf. based on Ncurses

project homepage:

http://cebu.mozcom.com/riker/iptraf/

or you could just try tcpdump as root like vVv suggested
