TCPDump Top-Talkers script
I remember back in the days of cypress Linux, or Red October, that we in the MH office had a top talkers script. It was good to see, for instance, that the streaming radio you were listening to didn't impact the network too noticeably. I don't know what the network guys did out there, but I had a need to cook up something out East again. So I googled it up, found a tcpdump cheat-sheet with it, and there ya go. Top talkers:
Yay for google and tcpdump!
tcpdump -tnn -c 20000 -i eth0 |\It's nothing like perfect, for it only shows the number of packets a machine's blowing out the NIC and not the size of each one, but that's something which we can add in, I figure. It's quick, though, and gives a relatively useful ballpark figure, which is all I need today.
awk -F "." '{print $1"."$2"."$3"."$4}' |\
sort | uniq -c | sort -nr |\
awk ' $1 > 100 '
Yay for google and tcpdump!
