Ultraf is a basic tool that provides a rundown of the traffic that passes through a computer's network interface.
Ultraf is a network monitoring utility that offers a simple way to list and categorize traffic passing through a computer's network interface. Built on top of libpcap, this software captures all network traffic and presents it in real-time for system administrators to easily visualize traffic flows through their Linux-based computer's interface.
While there are many similar projects available, Ultraf offers a straightforward and easy-to-use approach. However, you may want to consider looking into other tools like IPTraf or tcpdump, which offer more advanced features for network monitoring in specific scenarios. Ultimately, the decision comes down to your specific needs and preferences.
Currently, Ultraf has a few limitations, including the need for timing options for display refresh and measurement, as well as the absence of sufficient documentation. Future updates to the software aim to tackle these issues by implementing these features.
Moreover, Ultraf faces issues when measuring the interface speed for extended periods, causing some variables in math.c to overflow during average calculations. Additionally, there is a need to segregate simplex and duplex filters, and the existing duplex filter bpf parsing is buggy leading to incomplete results. A redesign of the duplex filter is underway to rectify these issues.
Overall, Ultraf is a useful software utility for anyone seeking to monitor their network interface traffic in real-time, and the upcoming updates aim to enhance its functionality further.
