Bandwidthd is a C application that monitors ip traffic with libpcap and graphs usage by ip address. Unlike MRTG, you can tell exactly which ip address on your network is consuming your bandwidth when there is a problem. Bandwidthd graphs each ip address for 2 day, 8 day, 40 day, and 400 day periods and can optionally write out logs in cdf format of each ip addresses utilization with 2.5 minute, 10 minute, 1 hour and 12 hour resolution. Each graph is color coded to indecate HTTP/HTTPS, VPN, P2P, TCP, UDP, and ICMP traffic. Bandwidthd depends on only libpcap, libgl and libpng, and is easy to compile and configure. Some kind people have already been nice enough to get bandwidthd into gentoo and BSD ports, I'd love to see it in debian, I hope someone will take ownership of it. I am the author btw, so I'll do any changes that will help make the maintainers life easy.
