Hi, I do not have experience with running a linux router with a T-1 card in it, but I _do_ run a linux box which serves as an egress device and provides policy based routing across three different ISPs using source addresses.... This network has about 1200 workstations and uses around 30 different Class C networks.. iproute2 provides a nice way of allocating Internet traffic generated by all these machines across two different T-1s and a 3 Meg connection depending on where the traffic originates... and it runs on a standard desktop PC (i.e., cheap) with a couple of NIC cards in it... iproute2 also provides the ability to 'blackhole' a particular host (or hosts) and deny access to the Internet for those who misbehave or become infected with one scanning virus or another... I am looking for a nice command line tool that I could run on this policy based router that would allow me to more easily identify misbehavers and machines with viruses... I have tried a few tools such as jnettop, iftop, iptraf, pktstat and darkstat, but while each does what it was designed to do fairly nicely, I haven't yet found the tool I am looking for... Any suggestions out there??
