I have some scripts. You can find them on www.docum.org. They don't look
really cool, but they can show you what's going on in real-time.
I have a script that uses iptables counters. An other uses the tc counters.
They are both shell scripts and I use them to automate my tests.
I also have some scripts to store the tc counters in a rrd database so you can
graph long term statistics. And I have written a java applet so you can see
real-time graphs.
