    4 This directory contains trafshow source code, a tool for real-time network
    5 traffic visualization.
    6 
    7 Trafshow continuously display the information regarding packet traffic on
    8 the configured network interface that match the boolean expression.
    9 It periodically sorts and updates this information.
   10 
   11 This funny program may be useful for locating suspicious network traffic on
   12 the net or to evaluate current utilization of the network interface.
   13 
   14 If trafshow has been compiled with modern curses libraries such as Slang or
   15 Ncurses it been able to show colored traffic according to your configuration
   16 on color-capable terminal.
   17 
   18 Trafshow now use libpcap, a system-independent interface for user-level
   19 packet capture.  Before building trafshow, you must first retrieve and
   20 build libpcap, also from LBL, in:
   21 
   22 	ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/libpcap.tar.Z
   23 
   24 Trafshow can use variouse curses libraries, a terminal-independent set of
   25 screen functions with optimal cursor motion. Currently trafshow may be
   26 compiled with any curses library, but not all of them work with color
   27 functions properly. Slang or Ncurses is prefered because it right supports
   28 color. Note for termcap users, only the Slang curses is suitable for you.
   29 Before building trafshow, you must first retrieve and build one of the
   30 following curses library:
   31 
   32 	ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slang/slang0.99-38.tar.gz
   33 or
   34 	ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/zm/zmbenhal/ncurses/ncurses-1.9.9g.tar.gz
   35 
   36 Once libpcap and libslang is built and installed, you can build trafshow
   37 using the procedure in the INSTALL file.
   38 
   39 The original distribution is available via anonymous ftp to ftp.nsk.su,
   40 in /pub/unix/trafshow.tar.gz.
