Hi Deepak I have used libpcap with C before and it was straight forward. AFAIK,tcpdump also relies and libpcap. If you wish to implement what you outlined earlier, doing it with a script using tcpdump would be quicker and easily distributed (in terms of others not needing to compile or install libpcap dev files). My first impression tells me that using the word transfer rate or some sort of download rate might be a more appropriate word than bandwidth. The method should also allow you to compare the rates you get for say HTTP and FTP. Sharad -- Mailing list guidelines and other related articles: http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
