iftop: display bandwidth usage on an interface

How to install?

  • Download and install the Universal Binary from here
  • Or if you already have MacPort installed

sudo port install iftop

How to use it?

  • run “ifconfig -l” or “/Applications/Utilities/Network\ Utility.app” to get your network interface id.

  • In my case is ‘en1′, so I just type into Terminal:

sudo iftop -i en1

Enjoy!
