NAME¶
tttprobe - Tele Traffic Tapper probe - A probe to collect local traffic-data and
send it to a remote instance of tttview
SYNTAX¶
ttt [
-interface device] [
-interval ms] [
-multicast]
[
-port dest_port] [
-ttl time-to-live] [
Destination]
DESCRIPTION¶
tttprobe is the probe program in the ttt program suite.
tttprobe
locally collects traffic-data and sends it over a network to an instance of
tttview.
To run
tttview, it is
not necessary to be "root".
The ttt program suite is yet another descendant of tcpdump but it is capable of
real-time, graphical, local and remote traffic-monitoring. It won't replace
tcpdump, rather, it helps you find out what to look into with tcpdump.
OPTIONS¶
ttt [
-interface device] [
-interval ms] [
-multicast]
[
-port dest_port] [
-ttl time-to-live] [
Destination]
- -interface device
- specifies the interface for packet capture. If not
specified, the default interface is chosen.
- -interval ms
- Sets the interval in Milliseconds. If omitted, a interval
of 1000 msec. is used as default.
- -multicast
- Shorthand for the default multicast destination
"224.8.8.0".
- -port dest_port
- Specifies the udp port number on the remote host where the
traffic-data should be sent to. If omitted, port 7288 is used as
default.
- -ttl time-to-live
- Specifies the time-to-live for multicast. If omitted, 1 is
used as default to restrict the multicast to the local subnet.
- Destination
- Specifies the remote host where the traffic-data should be
sent to. Destination can be omitted only, if -multicast is
specified. Destination can be a uni- or multicast address.
EXAMPLES¶
Remark: "hostA" is allways the host where traffic-data is collected
with tttprobe and "hostB" is allways the host where the traffic-data
is displayed with tttview.
point-to-point monitoring:
- hostA: tttprobe hostB
hostB: tttview
- or:
- hostA: tttprobe ip_of_hostB
hostB: tttview
multicast:
- when using the default multicast address:
- hostA: tttprobe -multicast
hostB: tttview -multicast
- this is equivalent to:
- hostA: tttprobe 224.8.8.0
hostB: tttview -addr 224.8.8.0
