NAME
       etherape   graphical network traffic browser

SYNOPSIS
       etherape [  m operating mode ] [  i interface ] [  f filter ] [  r inputfile ] [  n ] [  d ] [  F ] [  N color ] [  L color ] [  T color ]  z ]


DESCRIPTION
       etherape is a network traffic browser. It displays network activity graphically. It uses GNOME libraries as its user interface, and libpcap, a packet capture
       and filtering library.

OPTIONS
       These options can be supplied to the command:

        d,   diagram only
              don't display any node text identification

        f,   filter 
              set capture filter

         glade file 
              uses the named libglade file to load interface instead of the default.

        i,   interface 
              set interface to listen to

        l,   node limit 
              sets the maximum number of node visible

        m,   mode 
              set mode of operation (default is lowest level for current device)

         max delay 
              caps timestamps to the provided delay when replaying a capture file.

        n,   numeric
              don't convert addresses to names

        r,   replay file 
              sets input file to replay

        ?,   help
              show a brief help message

FILES
       Etherape will use /etc/ethers if there is one. If not, it will try to reverse lookup the ip address.

       IMPORTANT!  It is particularly important when running in ethernet mode to have the ethernet address of your router in  /etc/ethers.  If not, your router will
       have as name whatever IP address it was forwarding traffic from when it was first heard.
