[rrd-users] Re: Monitor TCP Traffic (ftp, http, other..)

[Logg, Connie A.]

You need to define what you mean by "monitor" and what your
equipment will let you do.

I have addressed in detail some aspects of this type of traffic monitoring in

http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/net/netflow/SLAC-Netflow.html

Currently I am using netflow, however in the past I have done the same thing
with strategically placing rmon1 and rmon2 probes around the network.

There are several vendors which provide products to do what you want. They not
only have the software but the hardware. 

Check some of the trade magazines, and go to a convention something like 
Networld+ Interop in May 2002.

There is an awful lot to learn.

hello!
how would i use rrdtool (snmp) to monitor different protocolls?
would i still use snmp, or would i rather use iptables, log it and then
somehow use rrdtool?
Or is there a MIB for that out there?

Cheers, Spiekey
