[Iftop-users] List dead?

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.

Martins.
