Hi,
during KDE 1.x times, I loved to used knetdump to monitor what's going on in my local network. Now I have some absurd traffic values on my central server and I was looking for a tool which provides a similar traffic display because that very easily identifies bandwidth-eaters.
I found the source for qtraffic but could get it to compile - well, it's for Qt 2.2...
Does anybody know a program (for Linux/Opensuse, of course) which provides a similar display output?
For those who don't know knetdump/qtraffic: Those programs provided a "traffic view" which showed each network node as a dot and then drew lines in different colors between the nodes, the color representing the protocol, the width of the line representing the bandwidth in use.
See http://nisbach.de/knetdump/ http://nisbach.de/knetdump/ktrafficview.gif
And knetdump was written for qt1. Ubuntu seem to have compatibility libraries for qt4 to provide backwards compatibility for qt1 apps (and probably qt2, but I didn't google that) but a quick zypper se qt1 didn't turn up anything for oS (but maybe I was searching for the wrong thing). If there is nothing in any of the oS repositories (and I haven't checked OBS either) then you may have to look upstream. There should be a way to compile the qt1/qt2 apps on qt4 using a compatibility library I would have thought. When you find it, please report back here because these look like very useful tools. -- ========================================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ========================================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
