For whole network overview I agree with Thor here. NTOP is pretty sweet. If what you're really doing is looking at the realtime bits of what's going from network a to network b, I remember Linux 2.4 having som sort of command via iptables where you got a nifty updating terminal screen that gave you a kind of war room perspective on what traffic was going where. So if there was a bottle neck you could monitor the traffic on you could set up a linux node running 2.4 and have iptables set to allow all and pass the packets straight from Nic a to Nic B. But that all sounds like a big kludge. I think Lorin showed me this utility, but I never saw him abuse it like above. tack _______________________________________________ Bits mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sugoi.org/mailman/listinfo/bits
