README for iftop
$Id$
Read the INSTALL file, manual page and source code for more information.
iftop must be run as root.
KNOWN ISSUES
Solaris:
On Solaris, iftop has to run in promiscuous mode in order to capture
outgoing packets. iftop autoconfigures to run in promiscuous mode on
Solaris, but will filter out non-broadcast packets which are not
addressed to or from localhost. On Solaris, the -p option merely
disables that filter.
If you have some other sort of system that behaves like Solaris in
needing promiscuous mode, you can pass --enable-default-promiscuous to
configure to enable this behavior.
Cf. http://www.tcpdump.org/lists/workers/2002/02/msg00010.html
The version of curses distributed with Solaris may not be sufficient for
iftop's needs. You will probably need ncurses or similar.
