Hello!
There are a number of us still passively listening, though.
and me being one of them. :)
Thanks a lot for the replies. Well, i am using iftop version 0.17 on freebsd 6.1, installed through ports. i think it should be the latest, although havent been doing updates for few months, there might be few patches to apply. the freebsd box is running as a bridge with two NICs. Only one nic has an IP address.
another observation is that the speeds for the traffic slowly decreases although i am sure that everything is still runnings. my guess is that the total traffic somhow sums up and is dived by the current traffic, hence the speed decreases. so it gives a more or less precise measure only for a few minutes. just did this test once more: i run the command: 'iftop -F 192.168.0.0/24' and press d to hide the destination address and after few minutes CPU if down from 73% idle to 10% idle.

I haven't seen this. What operating system type and version are you running iftop on?
I assume you're running the very latest iftop from pdw?
