PPPLoad
PPPLoad is designed to display the current throughput of a particular
PPP link in a format that is similar to xload. PPPLoad has the
following features:
- Displays average throughput in bytes per second for both transmit and
receive.
- Throughput is shown as a bar graph, like xload.
- Transmit rate is shown in forestgreen,
and receive rate is shown in red.
- Transmit and receive are shown on the same graph,
with transmit drawn on top of receive (receive is likely to be always more
than transmit).
- For every 512 bytes per second of throughput,
a horizontal line is drawn.
- The graph automatically scales to fit the maximum
transmit or receive rate.
- The total number of bytes transmitted and received
is displayed.
Command Line Options
