Iorate was created in 1997 by Vince Westin of EMC. While working with Cliff Burrell of Federal Express, there was a need to perform a set of storage I/O benchmarks. Cliff had all the tests in mind, but did not have a tool that could run them. EMC had a tool, but it was for internal use at EMC. So to fill this need, iorate was created. Iorate is freely available for public use. |

NetHogs is a small 'net top' tool. Instead of breaking the traffic down per protocol or per subnet, like most tools do, it groups bandwidth by process. NetHogs does not rely on a special kernel module to be loaded. If there's suddenly a lot of network traffic, you can fire up NetHogs and immediately see which PID is causing this. This makes it easy to indentify programs that have gone wild and are suddenly taking up your bandwidth. |
