[TriLUG] traffic monitoring tools

[STaylor at srspos.com]

You want a sniffer.

There are lots of linux based apps or you can buy a hardware device that 
records what's coming down the wire.

If your concerned about BW usage you may want to check your int's on the 
firewall/router.

See which port is seeing the most traffic etc...

If you search on dogpile you should get lots of hits back for "sniffer"

Does anyone know of a way to monitor traffic on a network from behind a 
firewall or router.  Our link gets saturated at certain times and I am 
trying to determine what type of traffic it is and where it is originating 
from?  There may be some obvious tools but I think I am missing it.
 
TIA
