 +===== useful programs ===== 
 +  
 +==== tcpdump ==== 
 + 
 +Tcpdump prints out a description of the contents of packets on a network interface that match the boolean expression.. 
 + 
 +Examples:  
 +  * dns:  $  tcpdump -i eth0 'udp port 53' 
 +  * http:  $ tcpdump 'tcp port 80' 
 +  * ftp:   $ tcpdump -i eth0 '(port 21 or 20)' 
 + 
 + 
 +==== mtr - mytraceroute ==== 
 + 
 +mtmtr combines the functionality of the traceroute and ping programs in a single network diagnostic tool.r combines the functionality of the traceroute and ping programs in a single network diagnostic tool. 
 + 
 + 
 +==== iptraf ==== 
 + 
 +iptraf  is  an  ncurses-based  IP LAN monitor GUI that generates various network statistics including TCP info, UDP counts, ICMP and OSPF information, Ethernet load info, node stats, IP checksum errors, and others... 
 + 
 + 
 +==== iftop ==== 
 + 
 +iftop listens to network traffic on a named interface ... and displays a table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts. 
 + 
 +-i     interface 
 + 
 +-p     Run in promiscuous mode 
 + 
 +-P     Turn on port display 
 + 
 +-F     net/mask  -- Specifies  a  network  for  traffic analysis 
 + 
 + 
 +==== iperf ==== 
 + 
 +Measures the bandwith of a connections 
 + 
 +  iperf -c iperf.ovh.net -m -i 1 -t 10 -r 
 + 
 +It's usefull to check LAN Cables: 
 +Connect two computers with the cable, setup static IP Addresses and start iperf on both: 
 + 
 +Server mode on 1. box: 
 +  iperf -s    
 + 
 +Client mode on 2. box: 
 +  iperf -c <IP Address of box 1> 
 + 
 + 
 +In the results you get the Banwidth: 
 +  [  4] local <IP Addr node2> port 5001 connected with <IP Addr node1> port 2357 
 +  [ ID] Interval       Transfer     **Bandwidth** 
 +  [  4]  0.0-10.1 sec   6.5 MBytes   **305.2 Mbits/sec**
