Just wondering if anyone knows of any good bandwidth monitoring programs for
Linux? I'm looking for something that will monitor total incoming and
outgoing traffic for an interface. Also, I'm looking preferably for a
console app. I don't care about graphing too much, and really don't want to
put Apache on the box in question.
A friend of mine wrote a program he used to use to monitor network activity for the company we used to work in. He released it as opensource. It's curses-based. It's called IPTraf and it's available at the company website:

His name's Gerard, but likes the nickname Riker. Go figure. --
