    You can use indicator-netspeed to see the network traffic. You will have to add a new repository to install this. open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

    Once its installed you have to log out and log back in. By default it shows the traffic of your wifi. You will have to change it to eth0if you are connected to the internet using ethernet.

    You can also use indicator multiload to view a graph of your network usage. you can install it using sudo apt-get install indicator-multiload. Once its installed you can open it from the dash. You may have to edit the preferences to see the network graph.
