Description: |
|
|
|
Today I will present you a nice port (from Gentoo this time, not from |
|
a FreeBSD) and this port is even linux only. |
|
|
|
**nethogs** is a console program which shows the bandwidth usage of |
|
each running application consuming network. This can be particulary |
|
helpful to find which application is sending traffic and at which |
|
rate. |
|
|
|
It can be installed with emerge as simple as `emerge -av |
|
net-analyzer/nethogs`. |
|
|
|
It is very simple of use, just type `nethogs` in a terminal (as |
|
root). There are some parameters and it's a bit interactive but I |
|
recommend reading the manual if you need some details about them. |
|
|
|
I am currently running Gentoo on my main workstation, that makes me |
|
discover new things so maybe I will write more regularly about gentoo |
|
ports. |
