traffic-tops - Convert network traffic report to
Postscript
SYNOPSIS
traffic-tops [-o--outputfilename] [-i--inputfilename] [-T--titletitle] [-b--base-line-widthn] [-m--max-line-widthn] [-tnsVh]
DESCRIPTION
traffic-tops is a filter which accepts a summary generated
by traffic-collect(8) on standard input (or from the file
specified using the '-i' option) and writes an ASCII
report to standard output or to the file specified using
the '-o' option.
The report takes the form of a graph of which hosts have
been communicating with each other. To prevent unreadable
graphs, the order of hosts on the graph is randomised, to
prevent this, use the '-n' option.
The graph looks best at around 20 to 80 hosts on it. If
your report has more hosts than this it is recommended
that you limit the number of hosts using the trafficsort(8) tool's '-L' option.
