Howdy, Does anyone know of any good IP monitoring tools that can log/monitor the TYPES of IP traffic going across your netowork (ie: one that logs tcp/udp and esp port numbers/types of traffic)? Something that could query a router would be nice, although I am unaware of any routers that support such a feature. Even something that you could put on a box on the same ethernet subnet would do the job. I'm curious as to the types of traffic our customers are pushing as I am attempting to better analyze our usage.

If you're using Cisco routers you can turn on Netflow switching.
