Hi!

I have used IPtraf for measuring how much of my network is beeing used for a
while now, but since I got 100mbit connection it doesn't fulfill my
needs..when downloading thing in 5 megabytes/second, Iptraf says
300kb/second.. not very accurate huh?

Is there some other tool which can measure the ethernet traffic speed?

Byebye!

Erik

traffic monitor in iptraf is not really accurate. use "detailed
statitistc information". It's really more accurate.

Sorry I wasn't more precise, i actually use the detailed statistics
information when i get these inaccurate values!
