It possible to view traffic passed on an interface in some different ways: 1. netstat -i 2. ipfw s (also you have to set up IP Firewall rules) 3. ipfstat -iona 4. ... some others The main problem is following: this tools just output amount of traffic, and don't store it to database (and this is correct). So, you need to write own scripts to process this raw data from this programs. Or install additional software from the FreeBSD ports collection, for example. I suggest to use IPA (ports/sysutils/ipa). ----- Original Message ----- From: Devin Smith <devin-freebsdquestions@rintrah.org> Newsgroups: lucky.freebsd.questions Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 2:06 AM Subject: measure traffic passed on an interface > Is there a simple way to measure traffic passed by an interface in FreeBSD? > > IPFM looks like it will do the trick from the ports collection, but it > would be nice to have access to this info without installing extra > software.
