I was wanting to write a little network monitoring tool that will sit on my
network in promiscuous mode and gather stats from a few application layer
protocols. I'd want to keep tabs on how many connections are set up, as well
as things like how many HTTP requests go back and forth (maybe even what
type of resource is requested).
I'm quite new to the more in-depth aspects of networking, and was wondering
what package anyone would recommend for doing this. I'm currently looking at
Jpcap (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jpcap). If anyone knows of a good
reason to use/not use it, or has any alternate recommendations, they'd be
greatly appreciated. It seems to be more than capable doing what I want, but
I'm not sure if it is, or if there's something better suited to my needs out
there.
