Cable Modem Counter is a cable modem (or any Ethernet connection) IP byte logger. It is not a packet sniffer, it just gathers network statistics.

It is composed of two parts:

A daemon, which logs all the incoming/outgoing connections and creates pairs of source/destination IP addresses with a byte counter and direction of traffic (inbound or outbound) attached. It stores it periodically on a file (or files).It also accepts network connections to gather the statistics and can also run user's scripts which can send commands to the daemon and receive information.
An user application, which can be run on console or X (wmaker/kde bar?) and connects to the daemon and collects the statistics, and then making the separation between national/international , inbound/outbound , etc (not done yet)

Requirements:
Unix system with threads support (any recent Linux / BSD ).
libpcap version 0.4 or greater.
ncurses version 5.x or superior for console (text mode) support
Xlib for X support
libc with locales for Internationalization support
