NAME
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 traffic-sort(8) tool's '-L' option.
