Dgnetload is a software tool that measures and controls network load across a distributed network. It can gauge the performance of the network and help tailor its use by managing load distribution.
dgnetload consists of two parts: devstata, an agent program that runs on the machine connected to the interface to be monitored and periodically sends status info over the network, and gnetload, a display program that collects and displays this information. You can even use these programs to report the state of a dedicated router on another workstation machine!
To use dgnetload, you'll need to have GTK+ version 1.2.x installed on your machine, and if available at compile time, you can use GConf. Once installed, you can launch the software using the command "./gnetload," followed by any parameters you want to include.
In this release of dgnetload, the developer has posted the software under the name "dgnetload" to avoid any confusion or conflict with another app named "gnetload." All in all, if you need a reliable and efficient network load meter and control software, dgnetload is definitely worth considering.
