Typically they want a breakdown of bandwidth usage by remote host,
from a single host (their VPS).
I know what I tend to use for this, but I was wondering what the
rest of you use?
No one knows? Or you're all too shy?
Okay, I'll start.
I mostly just use simple bandwidth graphing in cacti to see when
there's anything out of the ordinary and then use tcpdump/wireshark
to work out what is the abnormal traffic.
If it's more complicated than that then I'll use ntop to get a
breakdown by IP address and port/protocol.
Cheers,
Andy
