  • NAME
      ftm - Frogfoot Networks Traffic Monitoring Utility
  • SYNOPSIS
      ftm [-n] <filename>
  • DESCRIPTION
      ftm is used to monitor networks. It uses netfilter packet counters to keep track of traffic passing through the machine on which it is executed.
  • OPTIONS
      A summary of options is included below.
      <filename>
      Location of an FTM configuration/rules file.
  • THEORY
      FTM reads a list of monitor sections, each containing a list of networks, expected bandwidth usage, and a description of the section. It uses this information to keep track of traffic flowing through the machine and display average throughput of each monitor section over a configurable period of time.
  • NOTES
      The configuration file allows you to specify a chain which FTM should use to add/remove its rules. Therefore, if you want it to leave your own rules alone, just add the following rules:
      
      iptables -t filter -N stats
      iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -j stats
