| Hi all,
| 
| I am currently working on a monitoring system which does more than simple
| byte counting, it instead monitors connections. Output can be sorted by
| most popular source host, most popular destination host, most popular
| source port, most popular destination port.
| 
| As it's just a test of concept right now, it's basically tcpdump piped to
| a program that converts the ASCII output into binary form for its own
| internal use. (As a bonus this makes it a little portable, assuming the
| target platform has a similar tcpdump)

perhaps you'd be better off modifying 'ntop' which already does the src/dest
address stuff you're talking about (and can split out by transport - i.e.
TCP, UDP and ICMP).


Cheers,

Enno.
