Network Traffic Monitoring Tool in Linux

Measure network traffic of the network card. Linux has two gadgets: nload and iftop.

After downloading the source file, configue & make install

I personally prefer iftop, which dynamically uses a simple ASC diagram to identify the current traffic of the NIC.
The first line is the network traffic scale,
The center is the traffic with other machines. There is a white bar that intuitively identifies the traffic change, and the last three columns of data are represented respectively:
1. preceding 2 seconds traffic in the past two seconds (Traffic)
2. Around half that amount over the preceding 10 s traffic in the past 10 seconds half
3. A second th of that over the whole of the last 40 s 1/5 of the traffic in the past 40 seconds

Three rows below
TX: Send traffic
RX: receive traffic
Total: total traffic
Cumm: total traffic since running iftop
Peak: peak traffic
Rates: the average network interface traffic in the past 2 s, 10 s, and 40 s respectively.

Press h to get help.
Sort by traffic
