So, NTop or Afterglow might be a good start. They are both user-friendly
tools that can ingest pcap files and output all sorts of pretty things.

Thanks for the response, Harry.

the basic stuff that managers are interested in seeing:

- yes what you said
- who or what is taking up all my precious network bandwidth
- colourful 3D pie charts

Kind regards,

Hank

Hmm, maybe start with defining what you want to report about?

Top talkers, top protocols/ports, open services, DNS info,
reconstructed files, etc...

Lots of different tools but it depends on what you want to do.

Cheers,
Harry

hi nanog folks,
i have 7GB of darn pcap data separated into individual 50MB files.
Collected via Wireshark.
i need a tool that can slurp in all this data and regurgitate
pretty, colourful and management-friendly reports.  Windows or Linux.
any suggestions?
thanks,
