Bandwidth Monitors
Simple small programs to monitor your bandwidth
1. bmon
bmon (66 kB) is a very nice realtime network trafic monitor.
It allows you to switch between all network interfaces and view at whats speeds the average load and peeks are in a very sensible way, all the time showing a nice overview of all the interfaces.
 |
bmon is something that should be installed on all routers, even those who are headless.
2. slurm
slurm (54 kB)
does a decent job at showing the network usage on a interface with colour graphs, but it is just not as good as
bmon. It must be started with a desired interface as a command line option like slurm -i eth0, there is no way of switching between interfaces while running.
 |
slurm does the job, but it is not your best choice.
