Bandwidth monitoring tools?
I was wondering what people use to monitor bandwidth on specific interfaces?
I have used vnstat in the past before. I'm looking for something that provides graphs (similar to VNstat) but looking for something that breaks the traffic down as well - by traffic type e.g. http/p2p, etc and also by IP address if possible.
Thanks.

Check out ntop
Looks decent, will need some more configuration though, it sees netflix streaming as Mail_POP - netflix uses 80 and 443 I believe.. @SegmentationFault
/edit - Going to compile it from source, it's probably a newer version than apt-get.
80 and 443 are not mail_pop nor are they specificly for netflix
as those ports are simple http/https but with ntop you can sort traffic on program basis.
Yep, I'm aware of this - hence needing more configuration. Seems there was an issue with a previous release which is what apt-get gives you.
Waiting for the source to compile now.
/edit - Compiled and it now reflects HTTPS as it should.
so.. If anyone is considering trying ntop it's better to compile from source.
vnstat has a php frontend which is pretty neat,
