Hi there Ming-Ching,

 : Given a running router/firewall machine, there may be many 'routing
 : connections' going on at same time. I am stucked with a basic question
 : unanswered, how do I know which are the applications using the heaviest
 : routing traffic ?

Try iptraf or ntop.

  http://iptraf.seul.org/           # -- quick/easy; visual; curses
  http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html     # -- can keep historical data

See also the following thread:

 : I could do a trial and error by using 'iptables', say
 : using a port range, but there are still too many
 : possibilities.

 : I thought 'netstat' could solve my problem, apparently
 : not. It seems netstat only shows the connection
 : originating and terminating in the machine and not
 : 'routing connections'. I am looking for a simple and
 : light weight program which can meet this requirement.
 : Any recommendation ?

-Martin
