command line network monitor?

[thathatman]

Is there a command line tool to monitor network activity and throughput? Maybe something similar to top?
Thanks

Yes, there is. Not installed by default though:


sudo apt-get install iftop

The program you are looking for is called iptraf, it is available in the repositories,.You can use Add/Remove Programs, Synaptic Package Manager and of course the command line to install it.

I prefer netwatch for a quick, realtime look

Works like a charm!
