About:
Slurm is a lightweight, ncurses-based network interface monitor that displays real-time network traffic statistics. It provides a clear overview of bandwidth usage, packet rates, and error counts for active interfaces. Its simplicity and low resource footprint make it a valuable tool for quick diagnostics.

Key Features:

Real-time traffic visualization
Support for multiple interfaces
Minimal dependencies
ncurses-based interface

Use Cases:

Monitoring bandwidth usage during file transfers
Diagnosing network bottlenecks in real-time
Quickly checking interface health and packet errors

Alternatives:

iftop – iftop focuses on connection-level traffic, whereas Slurm provides a simpler interface-level overview.
nload – nload offers similar interface monitoring with a slightly different visual presentation.
