bmon is a command-line bandwidth monitor and rate estimator that captures network interface statistics and displays them visually. It offers an interactive curses interface plus programmable text output for scripting.

Use cases

  • monitor network bandwidth usage per interface
  • estimate real-time network traffic rates
  • debug network statistics from the terminal
  • script network stats collection with text output
  • watch interface RX/TX rates live

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight terminal-based bandwidth monitor on Linux or macOS
  • you want scriptable text output of network statistics
  • you prefer an interactive curses UI without a GUI

When to avoid

  • you need historical graphing or long-term metrics storage
  • you want a graphical desktop network monitor
  • you need per-application bandwidth attribution
