darkstat is an ntop-workalike network statistics
gatherer. It runs as a background process on a
cable or DSL router, uses libpcap to capture
network traffic, and has a Web interface that
serves up reports of statistics such as data
transferred by host, port, and protocol. It also
has a neat bandwidth usage graph.
Changes: A packet capture problem affecting recent Linux kernels, capture statistics, and crashing on interface down were fixed. Logging to syslog, support for DLT_RAW links, and a hack to help NetworkManager users were implemented.
