Try netload, it is in the `netdiag' package along with several other neat
utilities.

Monitoring ppp0 Packets

1998-02-18 Thread Ian Perry
I would like to know if there is a way where I can monitor the number of
ppp0 packets transmitted and received as a continuous update on the screen.
 Similar to the way the tail command will show the last entries in a file
as they happen.  I know I can use ifconfig to show the number at an
instant, but I do not know how to do this on a continuous basis.

Thanks

Ian

Either tcpdump, or (more likely), trafshow will probably do what you want.

pppload is a nice utility to monitor the ppp link in a style similar to xload.
But of course this is not like tail -f so maybe it's not what you need.
(Try pppstats instead)

Try /usr/sbin/pppstats, from the ppp package.
