The direction +of data flow is indicated by arrows, <= and =>. In addition, a simple bar graph +shows the 15-second average. The pairs of hosts which consume the most bandwidth +are displayed at the top of the screen. + +By default, \fBiftop\fP will look up the hostnames associated with addresses it +finds in packets. This can cause substantial traffic of itself, and may result +in a confusing display. You may wish to suppress display of DNS traffic by +using filter code such as `not port domain', or switch it off entirely, by +using the \fB-d\fP option or the `r' key when the program is running. + +.SH OPTIONS + +.TP +.B -h +Print a summary of usage. + +.TP +.B -d +Don't do hostname lookups.
