Freeware Descriptions:
Display Network Traffic | Sometimes, analyzing networks you need to know what is going on over your network, and you need to know it right here and right now. Specifically, say you see a 100 Mbit interface working at 70%, when normally it stays on 30%. Who is doing what? NetBoar will help you.

Here is full features (taken from authors site):

  • Promiscuous mode: sets the capture mode of your interface. Some wireless adapter require promiscuous mode to be disabled to sniff traffic
  • Only known protocols: filters out unknown protocols, that is protocols on ports not defined in the hard coded table.
  • Resolve ports: will change the display on numeric ports to their probable protocol (53->DNS, 80->HTTP).
  • Resolve addresses: will resolve ip addresses to host names (be careful)
  • Freeze display: stop updating display to let you scroll lists
  • Don’t distinguish ports: eliminates the analisys of port numbers, so you have a single line for a destination server that receives different connections from the same client (1 http, 1 ftp and 1 SMB from host A to server B will show as a single conversation, and traffic is summed up)
  • Collapse (source / destination): will show a single conversation for (respectively) several servers accessed by different clients or several clients on the same server
  • Packet filters: provide some hard coded BPF packet filters
  • Display limit: limits the number of items in the conversations and protocol list
  • Units scaling: lets you choose the units of the counters
