Hi,

I use iftop every day to monitor the network traffic at the small
university I admin.  It's a very useful tool; thanks for all your
efforts.

I have a very minor feature request: when one has source or dest host
hidden, it would be useful to indicate somewhere the number of
connections that are being amalgamated, perhaps in parens.  Something
like this:

   10.0.1.50              => * (14)         466Kb   420Kb   512Kb
                          <=                280Kb   430Kb   415Kb

So I can see at a glance that the bandwidth used by 10.0.1.50 is
distributed over 14 separate sessions.

Thanks again for iftop,
Jason.

P.S. I'm not subscribed to the list so please copy me on replies.
