[10:58] Monitor Network Bandwidth Usage In Ubuntu Linux With NTM – NTM (Network Traffic Monitor) an open source network traffic monitoring application for Linux-based operating systems, which displays network bandwidth usage by integrating with the default Network Monitor. It does not require root privileges to function, and can be configured to disconnect when a user-defined threshold is reached. NTM is useful for users who may have an internet connection with bandwidth limit imposed by their ISP.
