# tttview(1)

Tele Traffic Tapper viewer- a viewer program for remote, real-time, graphical traffic-monitoring.

## NAME

tttview - Tele Traffic Tapper viewer- a viewer program for remote, real-time, graphical traffic-monitoring.

## SYNTAX

tttview \[**-addr** recv\_addr\] \[**-mcastifaddr** addr\] \[**-multicast**\] \[**-port** recv\_port\] \[**-probe** addr\] \[**-yscale** (K\|M\|n)\]

## DESCRIPTION

*tttview* is the viewer program in the ttt program suite. *tttview* displays traffic-data collected on a remote host by *tttprobe*.

To run *tttview*, it is **not** necessary to be "root".

The ttt program suite is yet another descendant of tcpdump but it is capable of real-time, graphical, local and remote traffic-monitoring.  It won't replace tcpdump, rather, it helps you find out what to look into with tcpdump.

## OPTIONS

- **-addr** recv\_addr

  Specifies the local address. Only useful for multicast addresses. If omitted, "224.8.8.0 is used as default.

- **-mcastifaddr** addr

  Specifies the multicast interface address. Only useful when an interface is selected to join a multicast group.

- **-multicast**

  Shorthand for the default multicast destination "224.8.8.0".

- **-port** recv\_port

  Specifies the udp port number to receive traffic-data from a remote tttprobe. If omitted, port 7288 is used as default.

- **-probe** addr

  Specifies the address of a probe. Only useful to select one among multiple probes.

- **-yscale** ('K'\|'M'\|n)

  change the scale of y-axis. 'K' and 'M' represent 1000 and 1000000 respectively.

## EXAMPLES

Remark: "hostA" is allways the host where traffic-data is collected with tttprobe and "hostB" is allways the host where the traffic-data is displayed with tttview.

**point-to-point monitoring:**

-

  hostA: tttprobe hostB\
   hostB: tttview

-

  or:

-

  hostA: tttprobe ip\_of\_hostB\
   hostB: tttview

**multicast:**

-

  when using the default multicast address:

-

  hostA: tttprobe -multicast\
   hostB: tttview -multicast

-

  this is equivalent to:

-

  hostA: tttprobe 224.8.8.0\
   hostB: tttview -addr 224.8.8.0
