EtherApe is a graphical network monitor for Unix systems, modeled after Etherman, that displays network activity graphically, with hosts and links changing in size based on traffic volume and color-coded protocols. It supports various devices, including FDDI, ISDN, PPP, SLIP, and WLAN, as well as several encapsulation formats. Users can filter displayed traffic and capture data live from the network or read from a file. Node statistics can be exported for further analysis. The tool offers link layer, IP, and TCP modes, allowing users to focus on specific protocol stack levels. It provides detailed information on each node and link, including protocol breakdown and traffic statistics. ...
