IPTraf gathers data like TCP connection packet and byte counts, interface statistics and activity indicators, TCP/UDP traffic breakdowns, and LAN station packet and byte counts. IPTraf features include an IP traffic monitor which shows TCP flag information, packet and byte counts, ICMP details, OSPF packet types, and oversized IP packet warnings; interface statistics showing IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, non-IP and other IP packet counts, IP checksum errors, interface activity and packet size counts; a TCP and UDP service monitor showing counts of incoming and outgoing packets for common TCP and UDP application ports, a LAN statistics module that discovers active hosts and displays statistics about their activity; TCP, UDP and other protocol display filters so you can view just the traffic you want; logging; support for Ethernet, FDDI, ISDN, SLIP, PPP, and loopback interfaces; and utilization of the built-in raw socket interface of the Linux kernel, so it can be used on a wide variety of supported network cards. fyi, MP <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:pyz@brama.com">pyz@brama.com</a> On Mon, 20 Oct 2008, Dan Track wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi Does anyone know of a program that I can use to test network performance.

Thanks Dan </pre> </blockquote> I believe netperf (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://netperf.org">http://netperf.org</a>) has both a linux and a win32 variant. Netperf is run as a receiver/server on one PC and then ran as a client/sender on the other to benchmark network performance. Reverse the roles to get performance stats in the other direction. --Blake </body> </html>
