Actually, nload has a TUI (Text Based User Interface), in strict sense; it is not a CLI Application. It monitors the in- and outgoing traffic using two graphs and provides additional info like the total amount of transferred data and min/max network usage. It displays the total amount of data that has been transferred over a network device since the last reboot, the current bandwidth usage and the minimum, maximum, and average bandwidth usage measured since it started.
