The "nload" command is used in Linux-based operating systems to monitor network traffic and display real-time statistics about the amount of data being transmitted or received through network interfaces.
When you execute the "nload" command, it launches a terminal-based application that presents a graphical representation of the network traffic on each network interface. It provides information such as total bandwidth usage, current transfer rates, and historical usage in both directions (incoming and outgoing) for each interface.
The interface names and their corresponding traffic are presented in a list format on the left side of the screen, with graphs showing the traffic on the right side. The graphs typically depict the past few seconds of data transfer activity, showing spikes or dips in traffic.
Using the "nload" command, you can monitor network usage in real-time, helping you identify any heavy network traffic or abnormal patterns, and troubleshoot network-related problems more effectively.
