This is my first message here, so dont be to hard on me. i am using openBSD here as routering machine, and i would like to find out what my networkspeed is on my litle lan here. for the local machine it self it is no isue. MRTG (yes, i want do dump all collected snapshot data in a graphic) show's me all the data from the machine it self. but i cant get any script i ever found to work that opens a remote datastream, fish out its packet information and servs it to mrtg. tryd using with msocket, nc, tshark. using its own firewall rule with label parsing (pfctl -s label that is) isnt realy acurate. i just need a begin, i could use a small hint to point me in the right direction for this. thnxs. tony.

In reply to abselute n00b question, how do i extract packet information from a remote network adres with perl.(as in LAN machine) by spatieman
