Package: iftop
Version: 0.17-4
Severity: normal

Seems that iftop doesn't display ipv6 traffic. For example, I had a ssh
connection with audio streaming over it on my local network, and
wondered how much BW that was eating. iftop didn't show it at all, in
tcpdump it looked like this:

17:58:50.691229 IP6 2002:189f:2d7f:0:2e0:ff:feae:5d91.ssh >

jnettop was able to display this traffic, fwiw.
