<![CDATA[What is the best way to monitor traffic ?]]>I am using Darkstat and BandwidthD to monitor my network traffic, but either one kind of leaves me wanting more... I have been able to identify my bandwidth hogs, but other than being able to see the amount of bandwidth they use, is there a way to see where they're going ?

I use NTOP-NG.
But nothing is "free" in terms of cpu cycles or promiscious mode on the netcards.

I'm not sure what's exactly available in the packages that would provide that, but there should be something.
