Keeping tabs on your network traffic
12-01-2008 01:00 PM
One of the first things I do upon installing a Linux distribution is put the Network Monitor applet on my GNOME panel. Watching the blue lights twinkle on and off makes me aware of network traffic. But if you want more details about what's happening on your network, such as which application is hogging bandwidth or what each network interface is up to, you can turn to specialty tools like
NetHogs and
IPTraf. While NetHogs is a unique tool altogether, IPTraf can be used on a server as well as by a home user.
