Monitor bandwidth based on IP address

Jason.nix · 02-19-2024, 05:22 AM

Hello,
I found a series of programs to monitor the network at the following address:

But none of them nearly met my needs. I want a program that is under the console and shows on a graph how much bandwidth each IP address is using. Any idea?

Thank you.

There’s a couple of tools in that link that would probably work, depending upon what you mean by “how much bandwidth each IP address is using”. More specifically, what IP addresses do you want to monitor? What problem are you trying to solve?

Hello,
Thank you so much for your reply.
Consider a VPN server that has a number of users connecting to it. You want to know how much bandwidth each IP address is using.

Hello all,
I found a tool called tcptrack that is somewhat good:

Code:

# tcptrack -i "NIC_Name" port "Port_Number"

(your VPN & fw work is impressive to me!)
