Required Bandwidth Meter

Please recommend me a bandwidth meter which is similar to DU meter. I am using Fedora 8.

There are a few tools mentioned *www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html
See if any of it suits you.

Use Interactive Bandwidth Monitor
Home page: *ibmonitor.sourceforge.net/
It is available with Fedora Extras

Code:

prakash@localhost:~$ apt-cache search bandwidth monitor
bmon - portable bandwidth monitor and rate estimator
bwm - BandWidth Monitor
bwm-ng - small and simple console-based bandwidth monitor
glcpu - 3D-plotter for system activity
ifstat - InterFace STATistics Monitoring
ipband - daemon for subnet bandwidth monitoring with reporting via email
iptotal - monitor for IP traffic, not requiring SNMP
nload - A realtime console network usage monitor

^hope these helps

I wud recommend bwm-ng. Nload is also nice! Besides, there is gkrellm then which shows network statistics and finally there's ntop which shows loadzzzzz of action!

#yum install bwm-ng nload ntop

I use vnstat and Im happy with it. It also has a php front end you can install if you want graphs and a GUI interface for viewing statistics.

Thanks for the reply guys .. as of now im using bwm-ng, Will evaluate other programs

well also if u are using bsnl or mtnl,the plugin in firefox is really useful....i use that alone in linux...
