Re: Simple Network Traffic script

[Tim Traver]

mrtg is to collect and graph statistics from local and remote hosts...we 
use it for network info on switches, etc. Which means that I can 
ultimately get that info if I go find the switch port its on, and jump 
through some other hoops.

I just want a command line script that shows me how much bandwidth is 
being sent and received in the last x seconds...

Kind of like top for network bandwidth.
it can't be that hard...

Hi all,
ok, this may be a dumb question, but does anyone know where I can
find a simple script that shows the network traffic to and from
your local box ?
using netstat -i 5,  can see the traffic over 5 seconds, but then I
need to do a bunch of calculations to try and get a reasonable
number.
I looked at ntop, but couldn't get it to work...
there must be a simpler way...
Thanks,
Tim.
   

Well, there's mrtg in the ports tree, it may or not fit your 
definition of simple.
