Hi, all. I hope this isn't repeating a question that's been asked; I did a search and couldn't find it: I need to count throughput on my network without actually capturing packets -- it's a lot to store, and all I want is to add up the count of packets and bytes, by source and destination. Can Wireshark do this without a hack or complicated workaround? If not, any recommendation on a solution is appreciated. Thanks! asked 12 Sep '12, 11:46  SFMiner |
One Answer:
Wireshark is probably not the tool you'd use for this, since it in fact looks at captured packets, so you need to record them first. The type of thing you want to do is closer to using a Netflow analyzer/collector, so you should probably take a look into Netflow/Openflow. answered 12 Sep '12, 12:11  Jasper ♦♦ |
