Well... the objective has some more depth :-)
I like to know the bandwidth eater as well as to know the LAN IP which request that site.
Say youtube or torrent download is eating the bandwidth and I like to know the IP which is
taking so much bandwidth by using those services. I have got some hope through iftop but still
not upto the level of my requirement. jnettop and iptraf are also there but not that much
helpful like iftop.
So any suggestion in that direction is very much helpful.
Thanks
