DESCRIPTION

       netload   displays  the  load on an interface without using the interface.  netload simply
       accesses kernel statistics.

       netload uses ncurses to display the information, and the  use  of  a  gauge  to  show  the
       network  load.   It  shows  the absolute load, relative  load,  and  other  statistics, as
       well as the maximum load on the system so far.

       Interface is the name of your NIC, ppp, etc..  as  shown  in  ifconfig.  Typical names are
       "ppp0" "eth0" or "lo" (the latter is for localhost).

       to fit your preferences.
