[gentoo-user] current network traffic rate, in real time (in console)?

2010-07-07 Thread Jarry

Hi,

I would like to see in console current network transfer rate
for given interface, similar as I can see cpu-loading in [%]
with top command.

Just single overall value in [bytes/second] or similar unit
would be enough for me, averaged over certain short time
interval (let's say 1 or 5 seconds). How could I do that?

Do this first:

eix --stable -cC net-analyzer

Pick one that you think fits.

The one I picked was trafshow.

 iotop is very cool, but requires some accounting support
 to be set in the kernel...

Misfire. Aside from trafshow and iftop you might look at iptraf

I've used nettop successfully in the past...
