Hi all,

Right now I am setting up a Router for our office, and now I want a quick (neat) way to look at my network traffic. I would like to visualize the traffic in different ways, like separating into colored lines by TOS, or by source address, how many blocked packets show up (I have put up a firewall and QoS) etc.

maybe I need several different tolls, if there isn't one to do it. What suggestions do Gentooists have for this?

imagine ksysguard:
my ksysguard applet has incoming and outgoing traffic in two colors, over time.
I want something like this, but more detailed, being able to see traffic with all the detail I want, even blocked traffic.

Code:

emerge -av cacti


Why use two commands when you can use 1?
