ipband is a pcap based IP traffic monitor. It tallies per-subnet traffic
|
|
and bandwidth usage and starts detailed logging if specified threshold
|
|
for the specific subnet is exceeded. If traffic has been high for a
|
|
certain period of time, the report for that subnet is generated which
|
|
can be appended to a file or e-mailed. When bandwidth usage drops below
|
|
the threshold, detailed logging for the subnet is stopped and memory is
|
|
freed.
|
|
|
|
This utility could be handy in a limited bandwidth WAN environment
|
|
(frame relay, ISDN etc. circuits) to pinpoint offending traffic source
|
|
if certain links become saturated to the point where legitimate packets
|
|
start getting dropped.
|
|
|
|
It also can be used to monitor internet connection when specifying the
|
|
range of local ip addresses (to avoid firing reports about non-local
|
|
networks).
