Hi Agim,

Unless I've missed something, etherape doesn't graph bandwidth usage over time. I do see it graphing all conversations and tying the end points with a line that gets thicker along based on instant bandwidth used (and with a cool down period).

I haven't seen a mode where it simply plots bandwidth usage over time though. Also, the sourceforge project page doesn't show much activity as of late. Have I missed something? (I would be happy to if it means it is what I'm looking for)

Etherape is a great tool for this!

Hello,

I am looking for a real-time graphical bandwidth plotting utility that
will run on Linux and X Window, although it doesn't matter if it uses a
widget API (gtk, etc) as long as I can still export the display to an X
Server such as Cygwin or Xming. Since I need to export the display, the
app can't take the form of a control panel in a desktop environment
(kde/gnome/etc) or something like that.

Hi Sting, this is a subject I've pondered for a while as well but sadly
other projects have come before it and postponed any serious work I was
going to do on it.

I did find one tool which appeared to do the job but I haven't investigated
it thoroughly - http://etherape.sourceforge.net/ - if you are able to play
around with it and keep me personally in the loop with your findings I'd be
very grateful as I'm looking for a solution to this same problem myself
