Checking/Monitoring Bandwidth – Linux (ubuntu)
There are various web sites using which you can check bandwidth of you internet connection. Details of these web sites can be found at:
1. Test your internet connection speed – Few more websites
2. Test your internet connection speed
I recently received one comment on one of the posts above which asks about checking internet speed on linux. The person was more interested in command line utility which can be run on linux terminal than a GUI based internet speed test. Did some research and found a link which describes about a set of utilities for ubuntu for bandwidth monitoring.
Here is the list of bandwidth monitoring tools for network bandwidth
bmon
bwbar
bwm
bwm-ng
iftop
iperf
ipfm
speedometer
cbm
ibmonitor
pktstat
mactrack
MRTG
Cacti
I think most of the above tools should also be available for other distribution of Linux. I tested some of these on ubuntu only. Here is a link using which bwm-ng can be installed and run on Fedora.
