Hi,

I'm looking for a way to view the current throughput of various interfaces
in a freebsd router.

are there some flags to tcpdump that will give you the current kb/s flowing
through an interface?

does ntop do this?

are there other better command line tools?

I haven't gotten around to configuring mrtg to watch the interfaces yet and
just need something quick, easy and real time.

Thanks in advance,

Peter Brezny
