Date: 20 Jun 1997 17:13:56 GMT Organization: The Duck Pond public unix - http://www.kfu.com/ Lines: 21 Message-ID: <5oedok$3c4$1@phoenix.kfu.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: quack.kfu.com X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.1 (NOV) Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:43229 Etherman was a neat tool from a while ago that would graphically display traffic on a network. It drew a big circle and plotted the ethernet addresses around it, and drew lines between stations that were passing traffic to and from each other. The size of the dot for each machine and the size of the line between two machines was proportional to how much traffic there was. Neat tool. Trouble was that it was available only in a binary distribution for free. FreeBSD isn't one of the platforms that is on their ftp site. Is there a FreeBSD binary available somewhere? If not, is there some other tool that does the job as nicely as old Etherman did? trafshow doesn't seem to deal with non-IP traffic, so far as I can tell. -- Nick Sayer http://www.kfu.com/~nsayer/ | nsayer [at] quack [dot] kfu [dot] com | AMD UNSOLICITED BULK EMAIL IS UNACCEPTABLE | Inside AND WILL BE CONSIDERED AS HARASSMENT |
