NTOP does also a good job for real time traffic analysis.

What exactly you want to see, do, monitor ?

I want to see the IP traffic, like a sniffer, for example, source and destination IP addresses, packet size for each session.i have MRTG, but i want to monitor the IP traffic.

Thanks in advance

Hai paltel,

This may help you to some extent.

You can use Ciscoworks N-Genius realtime monitor RTM which comes along with LMS bundle.

It is having the faility of monitoring all the traffic through an interface but at datalink layer.

I can give no of packets,packet size,Unicast, multicast,broadcast packets also interms of byte and bit rate.

I am enjoying this for monitoring Internet traffic

I think this helps you.

IF so don't forget to rate this

Hi,

You could use netflow to see what traffic is going through your network into the pix or, if you need to see the contents, you will need to sniff (etherreal, tcpdump etc).

If you explain what you mean by monitor, we might be able to extend the advise.

You could also configure a MikroTik box as a bridge. You can then use the Torch tool to check the type of traffic on a protocol, source address, destination address and port basis. I've found this very useful.

You could also use Netenforcer from Allot. www.allot.com. It has capabilities to graph the protocol and port statistics.

I hope this helps....
