You got some valid points here, but I'd prefer to have a maintained
program rather than an old hack that has several bugs. However, you
might take over the old code as maintainer. I'm more than willing to add
this to netdiag as well once the more serious bugs are gone.

 1.3 was somethimes called trafshow-linux. It was my first
 positive impression when I moved from FreeBSD to Debian about
 10 years ago.

Would you care to elaborate? What feature did 1.3 have that the current
version doesn't have?

I'm still learning new trafshow ;)


IMHO trafshow was designed to keeping one eye on network status.

There are dozens other programs to do detailed view/anaysis.
I think most of new capabilities of new version are uimportant for me.

My first impressions was - screen bloated by all protocols on wire (I've
just learned: it has tcpdump-like filter).

More details:

- Lack of sorting of transfer/speed

- Only one option for expired data -P vs two for display  statistics
  table

- Lack of separate option for sliding window speed calculation - current
  behaviour is even undocumented

- Two lines split of both directions of connection - inefficient use of a
  screen (yes I know its display is scrollable but this isn't an aswer for
  dissadvantages).

Yes I know 1.3 is on old and probably unreviewed code. Only few linux
distributions keep this version :(

Hi,

It seems that loading trafshow-1.3 this way:

   LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 trafshow

solves a problem.

BTW
I think that incoming trafshow isn't a replacement for 1.3.
I'll have my on version :(

1.3 was somethimes called trafshow-linux. It was my first
positive impression when I moved from FreeBSD to Debian about
10 years ago.
