If you're using ipfw(8) on a machine acting as a gateway and your ruleset is configured with one rule per port, you can read the packet and byte counters for each rule: (root)# ipfw show; By knowing what standard services correlate to each port (http on port 80, FTP on port 21, etc), you can get a pretty good idea of traffic. It's not exactly the ideal solution, but it's a thought. -Modulok-
