-a: This seems to be the refresh interval for all data, in seconds; the default is 300.
-i: Sets the maximum display scale value for the incoming network interface traffic graph; default is 10240 kBit/s.
-m: Does not display the traffic graph, only the statistics.
-o: Sets the maximum display scale value for the outgoing network interface traffic graph; default is 10240 kBit/s.
-t: Refresh interval for displayed data, in milliseconds; default is 500.
-u: Sets the data unit for Curr, Avg, Min, Max on the right; by default it changes automatically. Note that uppercase and lowercase units are different!
h|b|k|m|g h: auto, b: Bit/s, k: kBit/s, m: MBit/s etc.
H|B|K|M|G H: auto, B: Byte/s, K: kByte/s, M: MByte/s etc.
