I would like to monitor network traffic for a computer on my network

My son does homework on a school laptop. I was thinking about setting up a gateway on my home network, so that I can monitor web traffic and know if he is doing his homework without standing over his shoulder. Ideally I would like to use the Raspberry Pi Model b that I already have. However, I might buy a mini computer with two NIC ports.

I want to use a Linux distro with hopefully a GUI interface to see what traffic he is generating. Hopefully someone has a suggestion on how to set this up.

Thanks

varnetload(8)					    Tool to create reproducable network traffic 				     varnetload(8)

NAME
varnetload - tool to create reproducable network traffic SYNOPSIS
varnetload [-d delay] [-t time to run] [-u url] DESCRIPTION
varnetload is a simple python script to create reproducable sustained network traffic. In order to use it effectively, you need to have an HTTP server present in your local LAN where you can put files. Upload a large HTML (or any other kind of file) to the HTTP server. Use the -u option of the script to point to that URL. Play with the delay option to vary the load put on your network. delay Sets delay between individual downloads in miliseconds. Default value is 1000. But you my find values range from 0 to 500 more use- ful. time to run Sets total run time in seconds. Default value is 60. url Sets downloaded resource. Default is http://myhost.mydomain/index.html. SEE ALSO
