DESCRIPTION
etherape is a network traffic browser. It displays network activity
graphically. It uses GNOME libraries as its user interface, and
libpcap, a packet capture and filtering library.
OPTIONS
These options can be supplied to the command:
-d, --diagram-only
don’t display any node text identification
-f, --filter <capture filter>
set capture filter
--glade-file <filename>
uses the named libglade file to load interface instead of the
default.
-i, --interface <interface name>
set interface to listen to
-l, --node-limit <number>
sets the maximum number of node visible
-m, --mode <ethernet|fddi|ip|tcp>
set mode of operation (default is lowest level for current
device)
--max-delay <delay in ms>
caps timestamps to the provided delay when replaying a capture
file.
-n, --numeric
don’t convert addresses to names
-r, --replay-file <file name>
sets input file to replay
-?, --help

FILES
Etherape will use /etc/ethers if there is one. If not, it will try to
reverse lookup the ip address.
IMPORTANT! It is particularly important when running in ethernet mode
to have the ethernet address of your router in /etc/ethers. If not,
your router will have as name whatever IP address it was forwarding
traffic from when it was first heard.
