Linux Bandwidth Monitor
Linux bandwidth monitor (bwmon) is yet another utility that measures bandwidth utiliazation per interface basis. It is coded in C and takes advantage of POSIX thread and curses library. It runs only on Linux systems since the utility reads /proc/net/dev and /proc/uptime.
The utility reads /proc/net/dev and /proc/uptime files in order to print out bandwidth usage at user selected intervals, maximum bandwidth usage since initialization of the utility and average bandwidth usage since the last reboot. This is done per interface basis.

usage: ./bwmon [-b] [-h] [-a] [-m] [-u seconds]
-a Print bandwidth utiliasation in Kbytes rather than Kbits. The default
is to use Kbits
-a Print also average bandwidth since last boot per interface
-m Print maximum bandwidth since launch of this utility
-h Print this help message
-u Update timeout (integer value)
Use <space-bar> to refresh the screen before update timeout expires
Use 'q' or 'Q' to exit this utility
Note that you have to have proc mounted to allow this software>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
