Add a "-u unit" CLI option, as well as a "bandwidth-unit" configuration file option. With "-u packets", traffic is accounted using packets per second; the other options are "-u bits" and "-u bytes". "-B" is still recognized as synonym to "-u bytes". The default is "-u bits", keeping the current behaviour of iftop (everything is in bits/s, except the cumulative totals).
README for iftop $Id$ Read the INSTALL file, manual page and source code for more information. iftop must be run as root. KNOWN ISSUES Solaris: On Solaris, iftop has to run in promiscuous mode in order to capture outgoing packets. iftop autoconfigures to run in promiscuous mode on Solaris, but will filter out non-broadcast packets which are not addressed to or from localhost. On Solaris, the -p option merely disables that filter. If you have some other sort of system that behaves like Solaris in needing promiscuous mode, you can pass --enable-default-promiscuous to configure to enable this behavior. Cf. http://www.tcpdump.org/lists/workers/2002/02/msg00010.html The version of curses distributed with Solaris may not be sufficient for iftop's needs. You will probably need ncurses or similar.
