Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Number of connections to host IP address?

["Sheahan, John" <John.Sheahan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My suggestion would be to write a simple script that logs into the server via ssh each hour, runs the netstat command, takes the output and greps for established connections, counts them and logs them.

I'd be happy to put one together if you think it would help you.

Hi,

Sounds like a job for ntop maybe?
