MZL & Novatech Traffic Statistics Linux Server
-
Version
1.2.0.0
The MZL & Novatech Traffic Statistics Linux Server is
intended to run in servers in intranet or on a gateway
and allows to view the Linux servers network usage
information on Windows workstations as HTML reports. It
reads IP packet from libpcap and allows users of the
free Windows client to see the amount of bandwidth
consumed as an icon in the system tray.
The user is able to see which hosts, services or ports
were the top traffic consumers. MZL & Novatech
TrafficStatistic works on IP packet level, therefore
the user gets reports on all the traffic, regardless
wether this traffic was made by a browser, a
filesharing software or a secure connection. It
contains an editor for specification of local addresses
and ports to be captured or not captured. This allows
to capture traffic to a proxy or VPN but exclude the
rest of local traffic.
MZL & Novatech TrafficStatistic can be useful for many
diffrent people:
- broadband (like DSL or cable) users with a volume
metered (bandwidth limited) charge plan have always an
eye on the currently accumulated consumed traffic.
- internet users with a flatrate can see whether a
cheaper metered charge plan might be appropriate for
their consumption habbits
- internet users are able to see, which services cause
the most traffic
- internet users are able to see, how much traffic was
consumed with their top target hosts
- operators of dedicated servers in a bandwidth metered
charge plan get up-to-date statistics
- network operators can see bandwidth consumption cut
by host and service of all machines in the local net
MZL & Novatech TrafficStatistic contains an IP detail
record (IPDR) generator developed on basis of ACE. MZL
& Novatech TrafficStatistic has be installed with
administrator privilegues.
It is distributed as binaries for Linux with lib_c like
Redhat 9, Suse 9 or Debian Sarge. The Traffic
Statistics Windows client is needed to configure the
Linux Server.
