IP Flow Meter is a bandwidth analysis tool, that
measures how much bandwidth specified hosts use
on their Internet link.

It is written using libpcap, so it ought to be 
portable. We develop it under Linux and FreeBSD.
It was reported to work under OpenBSD, NetBSD
and IRIX; if you own other Un*ces, just tell us
if it works and/or report any problem.


What does it output ?

IPFM produces text files, that look like this :


HOST                          IN         OUT       TOTAL
host1.domain.com           12345     6666684     6679029
host2.domain.com         1232314       12345     1244659
host3.domain.com         6645632         123     6645755
...
  

Almost everything is configurable : 

*  hosts to log
*  Output time interval
*  Output file name (with date in it)
*  reverse DNS resolution
*  IN, OUT or TOTAL sorting
