Hi Luca and all, I am monitoring our corporate link to internet (about 5 Mbps at the present). I am aware this supposes a lot of hosts (particularly external ones). I have plugged the monitoring station at the mirrored port of a switch, and have already set -j flag. According to your answer, I will try to limit the traffic to analyze with the -B flag. Thanks for the reply. You have written a great tool!
