bpfcount generates network use statistics for various categories of network
traffic defined by BPF filter expressions (which are commonly used for
filtering by sniffers such as tcpdump(1)). bpfcount takes as input a saved
network packet capture file (such would be generated by 'tcpdump -w
outfile' and a series of BPF filter expressions. bpfcount will output a
series of lines containing the average number of bytes per second received
by each filter expression.
The 'bpfgraph' part above is a perl program included in the bpfcount
package. As an alternative to capturing network traffic with tcpdump, see my
program netdumpd
for a daemon which can help with this task and supports automated file
rotation.
