Port bandwidth monitor

I've been looking for a while now. I can't seem to find any network monitors that allow me to monitor a single port's bandwidth. All I want to do is monitor the bandwidth of rtorrent. Is there anything that will do this for me? It would be great if it kept a statistics database. Even better if I could turn those statistics into a graph.

Re: Port bandwidth monitor

1. you can pull stats from iptables
2. you can use ntop
3. maybe iptraf?

Re: Port bandwidth monitor

I don't know anything about iptables. How hard is it to log traffic for a single port and be able to view the histiry in an easy to read way? Any tutorials you could point me to that would be useful to me for iptables?

Nmap needs snmp which my router doesn't support. Could I install snmp on my linux box and use nmap that way?

Iptraf doesn't log. I need logging.
