Thank you, I found a very simple and useful tool, thanks to Soeren Schaper (see below) I ran this, and here is some sample output for those interested: eri0 ge0 KB/s in KB/s out KB/s in KB/s out 0.00 0.00 193.69 193.24 0.00 0.00 262.76 251.40 0.00 0.00 252.09 220.63 0.00 0.00 145.38 131.14 0.00 0.00 230.44 218.04 0.00 0.00 143.76 122.60 0.00 0.00 128.14 108.97 0.00 0.00 190.01 148.37 [SOEREN SCHAPER] ... for measuring traffic in MB/s i can recommend ifstat: http://gael.roualland.free.fr/ifstat/ [ORIGINAL POST] I am busy trying to troubleshoot my network (Unix VLAN). This should be a very simple task, monitoring the traffic between 2 servers, but I cannot find the right tools to do this. I have tried snoop, ntop, iperf (of which I could not get to install the latter 2 - I had lots of installation errors, following the install procedures, and with my limited Unix knowledge, I could not get this to work). I am still searching on Google, but I would like to tap into the knowledge here - you guys (&girls) have lots of experience in this. Surely there must be an easy way to look at the traffic between 2 servers - for example how much data is transferred between the 2 servers (M/sec), etc. My network admin tells me there is nothing wrong with his network, and I tend to differ, but I need to prove this and give him facts.
