EtherApe Description

EtherApe, a graphical Unix network monitor based on Etherman, displays network activity graphically. Hosts and links change in size depending on traffic volume, and protocols are color-coded. It supports a variety of devices, including FDDI and ISDN, as well as PPP, SLIP and WLAN. Users can filter displayed data and capture live data from the network, or read from a text file. Statistics can be exported to facilitate further analysis. The tool has three modes: IP, TCP, and link layer. This allows users to focus on a specific protocol stack level. It provides detailed information about each node and connection, including protocol breakdowns and traffic statistics. EtherApe, an open-source software, is released under the GNU General Public License. One node can be displayed in the center of the screen, and several nodes selected by the user can be arranged around it. In an alternative mode of display, nodes are arranged in "columns".

tcpdump Reviews
tcpdump
Tcpdump, a powerful command line packet analyzer, allows users to view the contents of packets sent or received by a computer over a network. It runs on most Unix systems, including Linux and Solaris. It also works with FreeBSD NetBSD OpenBSD and MacOS. Tcpdump is able to read packets either from a network card or from an existing packet file. It also offers the option to write packets on standard output or to a file. Users can apply BPF filters to limit the amount of packets that are processed. This makes it easier to use on networks with high traffic. The tool is distributed with the BSD license and is therefore free software. Tcpdump can be installed as a native package on many operating systems, making it easier to install updates and maintain the system.
