[LUNA] Bandwidth

[Michael W. Hall]

Well I like the iftop a little better than wireshark.  However, I still
do not see what is taking the most bandwidth.  

I am not sure what the graph means.  I see the following:

<ip> 	=> <machine name>
<ip>	<= <ip>

not sure what that means.  I also see something I do not recognize.  I
see Jack in the graph.  I have a RasberryPi and when I remoted into it
it said something about Jack on the certificate when I ssh into the
machine.  The machine is named minionpi.  Not sure what that is about.
Any ideas?
