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. |
