It depends on what you want to do, but there is a utility that runs as a daemon using the bpf and gives you the number of bytes to and from which IP address and port number. You can use an input file for your requirements. I use it to monitor the amount of traffic that flows to and from a particular C class and some of my own IP addresses. You can run a particular command and it writes the count out to file in a tab delimited format. The package also comes with trafshow which allows you to see what is flowing over the network. I got it from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/bpft-2.0.tgz Regards, Hugh Blandford.
