Hello,

We are looking for a software that will graph and save history for all traffic flows that go through our network. Basically we are replacing a couple of Packeteer devices because they are no longer supported and we don't want to spend the huge amount of money they are asking for all new equipment. I know Packeteer is mostly for bandwidth management, but we already have that part covered. What we do not have a solution yet, and Packeteer does, is the graphing/monitoring of all traffic going through it. We don't want to install a piece of software on each server in our network that would get polled by SNMP. We know solutions for this type of setup exist (cacti, mrtg, etc). We want to sniff all traffic coming in and out and graph it over time by IP address. Does such a software exist?

You could have a look at argus (http://www.qosient.com/argus/) I havent ever used it but I've heard good things about it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
