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!

This is the best show I’ve seen on this topic, besides the movie Outsourced. Definitely worth watching!

Roger Spurlock (from the Supersize Me movie) explores what the the US job outsourcing experience is like on the other side.
