nload: View network traffic on specific interfaces (use the arrow keys to switch interfaces).
$ nload device ${interface_one} ${interface_two}
try on your machine

The command "nload device ${interface_one} ${interface_two}" uses the nload command line utility to monitor network traffic on the specified network interfaces.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "nload" is the name of the command line utility.
  • "device" is an argument that tells nload to display detailed statistics for each interface.
  • "${interface_one}" and "${interface_two}" are variables that represent the names of the network interfaces you want to monitor.

By replacing "${interface_one}" and "${interface_two}" with the actual names of the network interfaces, you can use this command to monitor the network traffic on those interfaces in real-time. The output will show various statistics such as incoming and outgoing traffic rates, totals, and average rates.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
