   @Stebalien and @lidel: This is an old issue, but wanted to check in - maybe a good bounty candidate?

   OTMH, I'd imagine this as being represented in the UI in the Peers screen table (sortable column), but would welcome any other approaches you'd have in mind. Thanks!

   My main concern with making this a bounty is that it needs some design (ux) work first. But other than that, yes.

   Showing this on the peers table sounds reasonable. I'd love to see rates on the map as well, but that would require tracking this ipfs bitswap ledger over time.

   @Stebalien too simplistic?

   @jessicaschilling fysa we are able to tell how much data was sent / received per peer historically, and "at the moment".

   • Perhaps we could display RateIn / RateOut next to the green dot? (or on hover, like we do for Connection column)
     • It is useful to know if peer's transfer is a little droplet, or a river
   • Should we also display TotalIn / TotalOut for peers which don't have green dot, but have those values above zero?
   • (loose thought) by comparing In/Out we are able to tell the dominant direction of the data flow, perhaps we could reuse In/Out colors from bandwidth graph on Status page?

   Some examples below, for your reference.

   Stat source examples

   Realtime stats per peer

   (we use ipfs stats bw for bandwidth graph on Status page, but we don't filter per peer, just get global stats)

   $ ipfs stats bw -p QmPeer1
   Bandwidth
   TotalIn: 207 kB
   TotalOut: 940 kB
   RateIn: 0 B/s
   RateOut: 0 B/s

   Historical stats

   ipfs bitswap ledger keeps track of past transfers, most numbers will overlap with totals from ipfs stats bw.

   Peer that did not exchange data with us yet (no icon):

   $ ipfs bitswap ledger QmPeer2
   Ledger for QmPeer2
   Debt ratio:	0.000000
   Exchanges:	0
   Bytes sent:	0
   Bytes received:	0

   Peer that fetched stuff from us (sent vs received, or just look at ratio)

   $ ipfs bitswap ledger QmPeer3
   Ledger for QmPeer3
   Debt ratio:	561.000000
   Exchanges:	1
   Bytes sent:	561
   Bytes received:	0

   Closing this one in favor of general Peers page table enhancement in #1602.
