Otherwise you'll have to setup a mirror port on a switch, direct all the packets to another machine and use a program that captures/counts the packets on the wire and does the necessary stats. Fyi, for real-time address/protocol LAN statistics, we submitted a port a few months ago in net/ltm. You can add your own protocol types, but you'll need to read the supplied manual entries first :) Paul.
