Best one we have used so far, is BMon.

It’s available as: sudo apt install bmon

Can be run with:

```bash
sudo bmon
```

<div class="rich-media-item mediaSingleView-content-wrap image-center cc-1770117" data-layout="center" data-node-type="mediaSingle" data-renderer-start-pos="337" data-width="760" data-width-type="pixel" id="bkmrk--1"></div>By default, you can scroll through the available interfaces, and see stats for each.

If you want to run it for a specfic NIC, use this:

```bash
sudo bmon -p nebula200
```
