As we will describe the usage of nload on Single or Multiple Server for managed or unmanaged Rackspace Cloud Server, the reader need to edit the sources.list file to uncomment or check whether Universe Source is active. nload package is available on Ubuntu universe repo since Ubuntu Lucid (10.04 LTS).

Why We Will Need to Monitor Network Traffic, Bandwidth Usage on CLI In Real Time with nload?

 

As nload has too many package dependency, it is important to understand when we should use nload.

One can check the full official data here :

 

Vim

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nload

 

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.
