Hi,
Can anyone please recomment an ntop alternative for me, which is more stable as well? I need to monitor all connections to and from a CentOS 5 server and ntop does it fairly well, but seems to crash at random times, and thus looses all the date prior to the crash.
Cacti / MRTG only gives complete bandwidth usage on the given interface, but I need to know how much bandwidth goes where, and comes from where on which protocol etc.

I have been using iptraf with great success for years, and thankfully it's in the base respository. It allows you to write to a log or just collect stats in memory.

Would wireshark be suitable for this?
