[ubuntu-uk] Network traffic analysis

[David Restall - System Administrator]

Hi,

I want to see where and what the traffic profile is on a server.  What I
have used in the past is ethereal but this seems like overkill, is there
anything else out there.

What I would like is something that will give me a simple report showing
traffic in, out, IP addresses, ports etc.

MRTG is another option but this is fiddly to set up for what I want and
I'd still have to use tcpdump to capture the raw data.

I don't mind using tcpdump to capture the data it's what I use to produce
the pretty outputs that I'm after (pretty ! necessarily == graphical).

Sorry if this is a bit rambling - had a bit of pop and things aren't
quite working as smoothly as I'd expect :*)

TTFN
