Network and bandwidth monitoring with darkstat

I was searching for a networking monitor solution and found http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20020521011343792

Darkstat's source code is available at http://unix4lyfe.org/darkstat/ After starting it runs as a daemon in the background. 
mike@mikembp:~$ sudo darkstat -i en0
It binds itself to the TCP port 667 which can be changed and also other things: 
mike@mikembp:~$ darkstat --help
darkstat 3.0.718 (using libpcap version 1.1.1)

usage: darkstat [ -i interface ]
                [ -f filter ]
                [ -r capfile ]
                [ -p port ]
                [ -b bindaddr ]

                [ --hosts-keep count ]
                [ --ports-max count ]
