I use IMAPS to get my mail from work. Sometimes my mail (read: server) is
just unbearably slow. I know it's b/c the network is bogged down. I want to
know quickly what is taking up my bandwidth (and ideally even terminate the
transfer).
Currently I narrow it down by using 'iptraf' and viewing the ports and then
try to deduce what exactly is ftping or sshing or httping up/down through a
combination of 'du' (to see the directory size grow in certain suspect
dirs), or /server-status to see if a web request is causing it, or other
trial/error.
Typically it's people downloading my friend's band's mp3 files (I host his
domain), but it could be a large email attachment or any number of other
bandwidth intensive tasks.
It would be great if there was a tool (preferably web front end, but CLI is
fine too). That I could look at, and see, oh, your bandwith is taken up by
this port, since this time, downloading/uploading this file, to/from this
remote IP, using FTP/HTTP/SCP, etc...
I want a summary of the useful info in one go. Does such a thing exist? I'd
be quite shocked to think that I'm the first person with a need for such a
tool...
