speedometer: Show graph for a specific interface.

try on your machine

The command "speedometer -r ${eth0} -t ${eth0}" is used to run the speedometer tool with specific options.

  • "speedometer" is a command-line tool that shows the current network transfer speed in a graphical format.
  • The "-r" option is used to specify the interface to monitor the received (download) network traffic speed.
  • The "${eth0}" is a placeholder for the name of the network interface. In this case, it represents the interface named "eth0".
  • The "-t" option is used to specify the interface to monitor the transmitted (upload) network traffic speed.
  • Again, "${eth0}" is a placeholder for the name of the network interface, which is "eth0" in this case.

In summary, this command starts the speedometer tool and sets it to monitor the network traffic speed on the "eth0" interface for both received and transmitted data.
