Re: How to simply sum up all the transferred bytes ?

["Ing. Daniel Manrique" <roadmr () entropia com mx>]

Someone asked a slightly similar question before, and everyone pointed him 
to ntop and other tools, stating, plainly, that snort is not the best tool 
for the traffic monitoring job.

http://www.ntop.org

ntop is sometimes considered overkill (everything but the kitchen sink on 
the sucker), so if your needs are indeed more simple, you could also take 
a look at darkstat or iptraf ; darkstat tries to be a "simpler ntop" and 
iptraf is a complete traffic analyzer for the console.
