Hi,

I would like to see in console current network transfer rate
for given interface, similar as I can see cpu-loading in [%]
with "top" command.

Just single overall value in [bytes/second] or similar unit
would be enough for me, averaged over certain short time
interval (let's say 1 or 5 seconds). How could I do that?

Do this first:

eix --stable -cC net-analyzer

Pick one that you think fits.

The one I picked was trafshow.

iotop is very cool, but requires some accounting support
to be set in the kernel.......
