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

NAME

       tttview - Tele Traffic Tapper viewer- a viewer program for remote, real-time, graphical traffic-monitoring.

SYNTAX

       tttview [-addr recv_addr] [-mcastifaddr addr] [-multicast] [-port recv_port] [-probe addr] [-yscale (K|M|n)]

DESCRIPTION

       tttview is the viewer program in the ttt program suite. tttview displays traffic-data collected on a remote host by tttprobe.

       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

       -addr recv_addr
	      Specifies the local address. Only useful for multicast addresses. If omitted, "224.8.8.0 is used as default.

       -mcastifaddr addr
	      Specifies the multicast interface address. Only useful when an interface is selected to join a multicast group.

       -multicast
	      Shorthand for the default multicast destination "224.8.8.0".

       -port recv_port
	      Specifies the udp port number to receive traffic-data from a remote tttprobe. If omitted, port 7288 is used as default.

       -probe addr
	      Specifies the address of a probe. Only useful to select one among multiple probes.

       -yscale ('K'|'M'|n)
	      change the scale of y-axis. 'K' and 'M' represent 1000 and 1000000 respectively.

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
