A Network General sniffer will do this for you, and it's a really nice (read expensive) piece of equipment to have. They go for around $26,000 (someone correct me if I'm wrong... I've never bought one myself). If that's out of your price range, there's always sniffer software for your platform/os. Also, there's a piece of software for sys V/solaris (forget which one) that will show you the types of network connections between machines on your network that runs in X/openwin. I didn't work with the program directly, but it laid everything out in a nice chart, and showed the whole range of traffic types (udp/tcp/etc.)... I'm sure someone on the list knows the name of it...

Howdy, Does anyone know of any good IP monitoring tools that can log/monitor the TYPES of IP traffic going across your netowork (ie: one that logs tcp/udp and esp port numbers/types of traffic)? Something that could query a router would be nice, although I am unaware of any routers that support such a feature. Even something that you could put on a box on the same ethernet subnet would do the job. I'm curious as to the types of traffic our customers are pushing as I am attempting to better analyze our usage.
