Is there any internet monitoring software than can sit on the edge of my network and monitor in real time whats happening with my internet connection.<br />
<br />
Ideally, I'd like it to show either a command line console or a GUI which shows traffic between my network devices and the internet. <br />
<br />
I imagine it would sit in the network like so .... my network stuff -&gt; monitor -&gt; router<br />
<br />
Thanks!

firewall / router  monitoring software

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
