Although iftop reports the bandwidth used by individual connections, it cannot report the process name/id involved in the particular socket connection. Iftop uses the pcap library to capture the packets moving in and out of the network adapter, and then sums up the size and count to find the total bandwidth under use. Iftop: measures the data flowing through individual socket connections, and it works in a manner that is different from Nload. The output is in a format that is easy to log and parse using other programs or utilities. Ifstat: reports the network bandwidth in a batch style mode. This example shows how to use dstat to report network bandwidth Screenshot Screenshotĭstat: is a versatile tool (written in python) that can monitor different system statistics and report them in a batch style mode or log the data to a csv or similar file. Over here is a simple example of how to use it to report network usage/bandwidth. ScreenshotĬollectl: reports system statistics in a style that is similar to dstat, and like dstat it gathers statistics about various different system resources like cpu, memory, network etc. No further options, just the traffic stats are display and updated in realtime. ScreenshotĬBM: (Color Bandwidth Meter) A tiny little simple bandwidth monitor that displays the traffic volume through network interfaces. Screenshotīwm-ng: (Bandwidth Monitor Next Generation) is another very simple real time network load monitor that reports a summary of the speed at which data is being transferred in and out of all available network interfaces on the system. The output also consists of a graph and a section with packet level details. For more awesome lists, see īmon: (Bandwidth Monitor) is a tool similar to nload that shows the traffic load over all the network interfaces on the system. I just want to make a list of tools to process pcap files in research of network traffic. This project does not contain any source code or files.
