Just this week I was up to make a router really logging/tracking traffic and yesterday I succeeded in running ntop-current (2.0) with mySQL-Support (but not with the included support, this crashes ntop, instead, with some mods to mySQLserver.pl!). I'm about to write an article to post it on www.freebsddiary.org, but this could take some time:-( Nevertheless, ntop (2.0) seems exactly to fullfill what you want. Of course Trafshow is great too. But it's not really comparable, especially if you want to be able to track sessions. On the other hand, dependend on your throughput, you need a dedicated router to run ntop because transferrates beginning at 5MBytes/s are consuming the whole CPU (PIII667) with ntop running and you need at least 64MB RAM for running it with http-interface. (and throughput of more than 6MBytes/s is not captured correctly) Feel free to contact me, -Harry > I'd really like a way to "nice" individual uploads or downloads. > There's dummynet, but that's not quite what I'm after. > > -- > Chris BeHanna > Software Engineer (Remove "bogus" before responding.) > behanna@bogus.zbzoom.net > I was raised by a pack of wild corn dogs. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
