bandwhich is a Rust CLI utility that sniffs a network interface and displays current bandwidth utilization by process, connection, and remote IP/hostname in a responsive terminal dashboard. It cross-references packet data with the OS (e.g., /proc, lsof, WinApi) and resolves IPs via reverse DNS.
Use cases
- see which process is using my bandwidth
- monitor network usage per connection in the terminal
- find out what is consuming bandwidth on a linux server
- show network utilization by remote ip or hostname
- debug which app is hogging the network
- live bandwidth dashboard for the command line
When to choose
- you need per-process or per-connection bandwidth attribution on Linux, macOS, or Windows
- you want a lightweight terminal-based network monitor instead of a GUI tool
- you need to identify bandwidth hogs on servers, desktops, or ARM devices
When to avoid
- you need long-term traffic history, graphing, or alerting rather than a live snapshot
- you cannot grant elevated privileges (setcap/sudo), which sniffing requires
- you need new features or active development, since the project is in passive maintenance
