ltraf is a simple utility to list traffic flowing through a computer's network interface. It can categorize the traffic based on bpf rules. It uses libpcap to capture network traffic.
The main goal of the project is to give systems administrators a chance to visualize the traffic flow through a linux based computer's network interface in real time.
There are a number of projects that can do similar things (and even more) so you might want to try IPTraf or tcpdump but they are a bit different. I'll let you decide which is best for you.
TODO:
1. Implement timing options for display refresh and measurement
2. Write some more documentation. Like a man page or something.
Limitations:
When interface speed is measured for a long time and too much data flows through some variable in math.c overflows at average calculations.
Do we need to separate simplex and duplex filters ??
Duplex filter bpf parsing is buggy and incomplete. Redesign it.
