Hi,
We reached a point our internet connexion is overheaded.
We have about 20 workstations.
I would like to build some stats on the network consumption: HTTP, FTP,
Torrents, Instant messenging, whatever...
The goal is to find out first what kind of traffic is overheading the
connexion.

Thus, I look for a very good and clever software in order to detect traffic
kind. I would be only about detecting the working port, because MSN (for
example) can go through 80 port: I need the soft to detect it's an MSN
using 80.

What would be your advices?

Since no one's replied yet, I'll make the suggestion of ntop. I don't think it will identify the actual application being used but it will output stats on port and protocol.
