I'm pleased to announce the release of FlowScan-1.002. FlowScan
is a tool to monitor and graph flow information from Cisco
routers in "near" real-time.
I've pushed myself to release it now since I've just recently
added passive measurement of Napster traffic. A sample of what
FlowScan can do is at:
http://wwwstats.net.wisc.edu
Availability
FlowScan is licensed under the GNU General Public License, and
is available to you at:
http://net.doit.wisc.edu/~plonka/FlowScan/
Mailing Lists
There are two mailing lists having to do with FlowScan:
* flowscan
a general mailing list for FlowScan users.
* flowscan-announce
a low-volume, restricted post mailing list to keep FlowScan
users informed of news regarding FlowScan.
Announcements will be "cross-posted" to both lists, so there's
no need to join both.
These lists are hosted by the Division of Information
Technology's Network Engineering Technology group at the
University of Wisconsin - Madison. To subscribe to either of
them, send email to:
majordomo@net.doit.wisc.edu
containing either:
subscribe flowscan
*or*:
subscribe flowscan-announce
You should receive an automatic response that will request that
you verify your request to become a member of the list, to which
you must reply with the authentication information there-in.
Then, in response to your reply, you should receive a welcome
message. If you have any questions about the administrative
policies of this list's manager, please contact:
owner-flowscan@net.doit.wisc.edu
*or*:
owner-flowscan-announce@net.doit.wisc.edu
Napster
If you're interested in Napster specifically, note the graph
labeled "Well Known Services Mb/s" here:
http://wwwstats.net.wisc.edu
or, directly, here:
http://wwwstats.net.wisc.edu/CampusIO/services_Mbps.gif
I have written a general document about the Napster portion of
the measurement at:
http://net.doit.wisc.edu/data/Napster/
Thanks
FlowScan-1.001, which was essentially the beta version, has been
tested quietly by a number of volunteers since September of last
year. I'd like to thank the beta testers for their efforts and
feedback.
Also, thanks to Daniel McRobb, Tobi Oetiker, and CAIDA for
providing the main tools upon which FlowScan is built, namely
"Cflowd" and "RRDTOOL".
