NAME
       ftm - Frogfoot Networks Traffic Monitoring Utility

SYNOPSIS
       ftm [-n] <filename>

DESCRIPTION
       ftm is used to monitor networks. It uses netfilter packet counters to keep track of traffic passing through the machine on which it is executed.

OPTIONS
       A summary of options is included below.

       <filename>
              Location of an FTM configuration/rules file.

THEORY
       FTM reads a list of monitor sections, each containing a list of networks, expected bandwidth usage, and a description of the section. It uses this
       information to keep track of traffic flowing through the machine and display average throughput of each monitor section over a configurable period
       of time.

NOTES
       The  configuration  file  allows  you to specify a chain which FTM should use to add/remove its rules. Therefore, if you want it to leave your own
       rules alone, just add the following rules:

              iptables -t filter -N stats
              iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -j stats

SEE ALSO
       ftm-config(5), iptables(8)
