RFS: bandwidthd - tracks network utilization per ip and draws graphs.

[Andreas Henriksson <andreas@fjortis.info>]

Hi everybody!

I'm looking for a sponsor to my bandwidthd package.

BandwidthD tracks traffic on the local network. It uses libpcap to
dissect the traffic and libgd to draw graphs (optional). Capable of
logging traffic to CDF (optional), recovering from CDF (optional)
and putting interface in promisc mode (optional).

The daemon is totally stand alone and very easy to configure and use.
Only dependancies are libpcap and libgd (any version).

Example output available at http://fjortis.info/bandwidthd/.
