Description David Heidelberg (okias) 2014-01-07 23:41:11 UTC

Please add small patch from net-analyzer/iftop-1.0_pre2-r1::ixit [1] which allow distinguish by color between RX and TX. When watching lot streams, some people found it really useful.

I personally tested it on few computers and everything work perfectly.

What jer tried to say with his change to "RESOLVED UPSTREAM" is that you please propose your patch to the upstream maintainer of iftop.
I'd love to see colored output in iftop but some upstream approval for your patch is really the best way to go here.

Wow, upstream is alive! Good, thanks guys :) I'll send them patch.

I filled this bug with thinking that upstream is still dead.
