   Best Ethernet Traffic Generator

   As a novice to networking protocol, I was able to understand the protocols much better with the help of Ostinato Traffic generator. With wide options to explore and support to use the same thing with python helped me and my team in understanding & testing of different protocols. Especially response from Srivats for the queries helped me step custom streams for my application.

   Best packet generator I've ever used

   I used Ostinato a couple years back at a different company and loved it then. Now, at a new company, purchased a new license for it and am still impressed. Super user friendly and intuitive, the creator reaches out after you buy and offers awesome support/tutorial videos.

   Network engineers, this is the app to test storm control, packet rate limits, and any other feature you need to test. Also replay wireshark packet captures. So awesome.

   👍 Pros:    Replay wireshark packet captures|Packet crafting|Set packets/second rates

   👎 Cons:    None

Nethogs mentions (5)

• Monitor bandwidth usage with bandwhich (and build a snap package of it)

  I'm not sure how it works beyond that it reads /proc, but whatever it does it uses a whole lot more compute than nethogs does (which also displays per process and also uses /proc as the information source). This is fine for most of my machines, but for lower-specced machines I'll probably have to stick with nethogs[1] [1]: https://github.com/raboof/nethogs. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• What applications uploaded data?

  Nethogs(rpm) is a much simpler solution. It's also available on the repos. Source: over 1 year ago

• Are there any TUI apps you recommend outside of ncdu / nnn / htop / vim / bat / fd / tig / duf?

  Ngrep is ok, I just use nethogs, nmap and tcpick, and tcpdump with termshark for most network analysis. Source: over 1 year ago

• Has someone hacked my machine, or is it supposed to look like this? Nethogs..

  Hello. I'm running linux mint at the moment. And I use a program that check the network sometimes that's called nethogs. https://github.com/raboof/nethogs. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Looking for a network monitor for Ubuntu to see data transfer rates per process/program

  I think nethogs might do this if I'm looking at the screenshot properly. Bandwhich appears to show what's being connected to on a per-process basis. Source: about 3 years ago

• What software would you like to see ported?

  A port of https://ostinato.org/ would be nice! Source: about 1 year ago

• Testing Storm Control settings on ex3300 ( Not Working)

  Ostinato can generate and send ARP floods and other broadcast packets. Source: over 1 year ago

• Do you need to pay for usage like this?

  Donation-ware in disguise. A more Qt-er example: https://ostinato.org. Source: about 3 years ago
