NAME
ftm − Frogfoot Networks Traffic Monitoring Utility
SYNOPSIS
ftm [-n] <filename>
DESCRIPTION
ftm is used to monitor networks. It uses netfilter packet counters to keep track of traffic passing through the machine on which it is executed.
OPTIONS
A summary of
options is included below.
<filename>
Location of an FTM configuration/rules file.
THEORY
FTM reads a list of monitor sections, each containing a list of networks, expected bandwidth usage, and a description of the section. It uses this information to keep track of traffic flowing through the machine and display average throughput of each monitor section over a configurable period of time.
NOTES
The configuration file allows you to specify a chain which FTM should use to add/remove its rules. Therefore, if you want it to leave your own rules alone, just add the following rules:
iptables -t
filter -N stats
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -j stats
