To get started, I've got a few questions:
I would like something that gives me: * Live view of all traffic in bits/s, bytes/s, packets/s, connections/s * Filterable by protocol, ip address, tcp/udp port * Optionally, broken down into categories configured by above filters, or groups of filters * Maintain history of said data * Accept data from either standard pcap or netflow I know there are many open source tools that provide parts of my pie-in-the-sky desires, but nothing that does it all. And closed-source tools that do it all cost lots and lots of money. --lonnie /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
