We have experienced a couple of bad ethernet cards (broadcasting like
crazy) and a bad cable or two on our LAN. I'm looking into software that
will help us detect such problems faster or maybe even forecast them. I
found "tcpdump" which appears to give us the information that we need.
Has anyone used tcpdump and is there more documentation on it than just
the man pages? Are there scripts that will reduce the "tcpdump" output to
report summaries.
Are there better ways to do this? TIA.
