+  TITLE:=display bandwith usage on an interface
+  DESCRIPTION:=iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It\\\
+listens to network traffic on a named interface and displays a\\\
+table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts. Handy for\\\
+answering the question "why is our ADSL link so slow?".\\\
