Folks,

I'm looking for a program for performing network monitoring. For
example, to display the percentage of bandwidth being used, the
percentage of bandwidth each service is using, etc.

It need not be an X application (I'd be glad to hear about them
anyway)... A text-orirented GUI would do.

Can any of you guys recommend such a tool?

depends on the size of your network, but i have used various
combinations of the following in the past:

- aguri, using the gnulpot tools included (in ports)
- ntop (ports have been created)
- bandwidthd (port submitted, not sure it was committed)

bandwidthd is the most complete package of the three, ie it generates
graphs and all for you. ntop can, as well, and version 2.x has lots of
bells and whistles. aguri is a nice tool to show you interesting
aspects of the network.

hope this helps,
