Nutty

A network utility for linux

Monitor the devices on your network and check bandwidth and speed details

Features

The Devices tab presents a tabular view of the devices on the network discovered by Nutty. The device host name and manufacturer name can be edited to make it more familiar. When a scan is run the devices found in that instant are shown as live. Any discovered device can be removed by a right click context menu.

Using the preferences menu under the gear icon in the header, a monitoring schedule can be set to allow Nutty to run at desired intervals to scan for devices. When a new device is found an alert is shown on the desktop.

The Usage tab presents two key information related to bandwidth of the device on which Nutty is running. The top section shows the data sent/received on the current day, yesterday, the current month and the last month. The bottom section shows the applications running at the current time and the data sent/received by them.

The Speed tab presents information related to upload/download internet speeds of the device on which Nutty is running. The top section shows the upload/download speeds recorded using speedtest.net. The bottom section shows a traceroute to a given remote host name with the average time for the network hops for three different packets.

The Ports tab shows a simple tabular view of the ports in use and the programs using those ports

The My Info tab shows some basic information on the selected network interface. More details like the NIC, driver, etc can be found on enabling the toggle swich for details
