Dear all,
I'm looking for some software to basically analyse the traffic I've got going over a particular pipe so that I can work out whether or what to traffic shape. Can anyone recommend anything?
Joe
My first recommendation would be to not reply to existing postings when starting a new thread. It really messes up the inbox for people that prefer threaded views.
As for software recommendations, have you looked at tcpdump? Its a lot of manual labour, but with some simple scripting you should be able to easily figure out what kind of traffic is eating your pipe.
If you dont mind a buggy, resource eating hog with lots of security issues you could look at ntop. It has a webinterface that draws very pretty graphs and diagrams with all the information you could possibly want.
But as I said, it will eat resources and dont blame me if youre hacked while running it. Just install it, fire it up and let it run for a few hours and you will have enough data to work with I think. If you like it you can keep it running, but as I said, dont blame me.
