Consider using tshark (command-line tool) with the following parameters perhaps… tshark –q –z io,stat,3000,ip.addr==192.168.1.0/24,ip.addr==192.168.2.0/24,ip.addr==192.168.3.0/24 > mystats.txt No packets are saved during this process – you’re only getting statistics.
Laura, this is not entirely true. As tshark uses dumpcap to capture the traffic, dumpcap will save all the packets in a temporary file from which tshark will read. To monitor the traffic for a week in this manner will most likely result in a) an out-of-memory error due to the fact that tshark keeps information about each conversation and b) a disk filling up with packet data.
