bandwhich
A terminal utility that displays real-time network bandwidth usage by process, connection, and remote IP/hostname.
What is bandwhich?
Bandwhich is a terminal-based network bandwidth monitoring tool that displays real-time network utilization by process, connection, and remote IP address or hostname. It helps users and administrators quickly identify which applications or connections are consuming network resources without requiring complex monitoring setups.
System administrators, network engineers, and developers who need to monitor network usage directly from the command line on Linux, macOS, Windows, or Android systems.
Developers choose bandwhich for its real-time, terminal-adaptive interface that provides immediate visibility into network activity, its cross-platform support, and its ability to run with fine-grained Linux capabilities instead of full sudo access for better security.
