IPTraf 3.0.0 - traffic statistics package
IPTraf is a console-based network statistics utility for Linux. It gathers a variety of figures such as TCP connection packet and byte counts, interface statistics and activity indicators, TCP/UDP traffic breakdowns, and LAN station packet and byte counts. It recognizes a lot of networking protocols (IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, IGMP, IGP, IGRP, OSPF, ARP and RARP). In contast with RRDstats, IPTraf is used for lower level network monitoring. The information generated by IPTraf can be valuable in making network organization decisions, troubleshooting LANs and tracking activity of various IP hosts.
