Hello,
iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It listens to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts.
http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/iftop/
How to install it
first, compile it from source for your OS
rpmbuild --rebuild --with <your_arch> http://carat-hosting.com/src/iftop-0.16-0.src.rpm
where <your_arch> is :
RedHat 9 = rht9x
so for example, if you have a CentOS 3.x just do :
rpmbuild --rebuild --with cos3x http://carat-hosting.com/src/iftop-0.16-0.src.rpm
Then install the rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
rpm -ivh iftop-0.16-0.i386.rpm
Then launch it with :
USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

Thanks a ton Pascal. iftop is a good tool to find bandwidth hogs or DOS soruces if you’re being attacked.

Very slick, thanks Pascal! – I got it installed on my CentOS 4.3 box in under 5 minutes
and it really did help me to find who was consumming all my bandwidth
