How to find out how much internet a particular site consumes in linux?

Question

linux

I downloaded something from the Internet and watched the stream at the same time. I have a speed of about 16 Mbps. That is, about a megabyte per second. .So, how do I find out exactly how much the stream is eating? Preferably through the console.

Answer 1

a) 16 megabits ~ 2 megabytes
b) A bunch of tools, iftop or nethogs, for example

Answer 2

You have a slightly wrong approach to the problem.
Rather, you need to look not at how much someone consumes, but rather sort out priorities.
Ie, see let's say a 10 megabit channel. It downloads a torrent at a speed of 4 megabits, and a stream at a speed of 4 megabits, as a result, 8 megabits, and the stream is terribly slow.
That is, it is often not the channel width that is important, but which traffic passes first.

Answer 3

Try using the iftop console utility, a specialized utility that allows you to monitor traffic in real time.
