'trafshow' is a handy little command line app that will give you a somewhat graphical display of who's doing what. Another more graphical one is 'etherape'. Both will only show you traffic local to your own machine though -- unless it's placed between the rest of the network and your internet connection.
Switching to G711a from G711u will not make a significant difference in bandwidth usage. Maybe you meant G729a? Regardless of audio codec, you need to reduce the latency and jitter introduced by the sporadic p2p traffic. QoS would certainly help... Monowall, and pfSense are two good solutions. In the short term, I'd try changing your p2p client to something that's more well behaved, like Azureus. On Sun, 1 Apr 2007, Syd Carter wrote: > Hi All.
