MRTG is good, but ntop is exactly that I need. I need to
see traffic by host(how iptraf do) to, in end of month, know
how machines use the network and know what things the
machines are doing. Example:
 
192.168.0.1:
Transmit: 120 Mb
Receive: 100 Mb
Active TCP sessions:
192.168.77.1:80 <--> 200.255.214.60:3201
 
192.168.0.2:
Transmit: 200 Mb
Receive: 100 Mb
Active TCP sessions:
192.168.77.1:80 <--> 200.255.214.60:3201
...
 
NTOP is better tool that I found.
 
This thing iptraf do, but it don't save statistics. Ntop save if
it was stoped normaly (don't if it crashes).
 
But i'm using MRTG too. It�s very good to see the total Router
Bandwidth usage.

For pure traffic count mrtg is the best. it can be found at  http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/
 
It uses SNMP, run it againt your switch and you'll get total traffic stats for all your servers.

Subject: [Ntop] NTOP Stoping without a Reason

I have a Conectiva Linux 7.0 with the currente stable
version of tcpdump and lipcap.I compiled ntop2.0.99
RC2 and use this to count the traffic of my Network. All
traffic is only going for Internet. I don't have a samba/windows
network or anything as it. My Internet Link is of 512Kbps,
then the max network traffic is 512Kbps.
 
Well, the compile was fine, and NTOP run fine during
3 days. But now it stops without a reason. And I lost
all traffic counted by NTOP. I am using the flag -S1 save
all network traffic, but it don't work now. I am using the
current stable version of gdbm database.
 
The only thing that I think that can justify it, is a Hacker
attack to a machine monitored by NTOP. This attack cause a
total traffic of 1.1 Gigabytes on my network, during about
15 hours. But NTOP stops 5 hours after I stop the Hacker.
 
Somebody can help-me ?? If somebody knows a better
tool to count monthly traffic on a network by machines,
please tell me. But I think that this is the better tool.
 
Sorry by the bad english.
