Hello, I am looking for a real-time graphical bandwidth plotting utility that will run on Linux and X Window, although it doesn't matter if it uses a widget API (gtk, etc) as long as I can still export the display to an X Server such as Cygwin or Xming. Since I need to export the display, the app can't take the form of a control panel in a desktop environment (kde/gnome/etc) or something like that. I haven't been able to find one so far. My needs are really simple. I just want to see a real-time graph of the bandwidth usage (Tx/Rx) on a single interface. I need the graph to capture the last fews seconds/minutes/hours of activity, which means all the console applications that just display the current usage snapshot (iftop, bwm-ng, etc) won't do. If it is able to recognize bandwidth usage for a specific IP-to-IP conversation and have one plotline per conversation, even better. I've searched around a fair amount. Most applications I found are either console based or web-server based. The console based ones usually only offer a current snapshot (no history) and the web ones aren't real-time, typically generating data that later gets compiled into a report. I've also tried etherape thinking it might do this, but it doesn't. bmon is the closest, but is text display. I've examined the applications on the following pages to not avail: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/xorg/nmtf/nmtf-tools.html#public http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-ubuntu-users.html I hope I'm missing something! Would appreciate any pointers to existing apps. I might write one if there really isn't anything, but I just find it hard to believe. Thank you. P.S: wasn't if this question is meant for a list such as linux-net, but there must be several users of the various applications I've mentionned and perhaps someone has had the same need -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
