It is a "top" like display for network interfaces. There was another in /usr/ports/net (name I forget) which displays nice graphs as well. Have a look at /usr/ports/net/README.html AFAIK there isn't much in the FreeBSD base system (why should there, that's what ports are for :), but if you must, you *could* try something like 'netstat 10', for example. With a bit of awking/greping, you can produce output suitable for a program like gnuplot. -Paul.
