| Description |
EtherApe is a graphical network monitor for
Unix modeled after etherman. Featuring link layer, IP and TCP modes, it
displays network activity graphically. Hosts and links change in size
with traffic. Color coded protocols display.
It supports Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring, ISDN, PPP, SLIP and WLAN devices, plus several
encapsulation formats.
It can filter traffic to be shown, and can read packets from a file as
well as live from the network.
Node statistics can be exported.

Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.9.20 (Sunday, May 16, 2021):
Link fading now follows the averaging timer, giving a better feel of packet
flow.
Improved xml output. Now contains also links and global protocol statistics.
Several preferences were removed or merged in a general tidying.
Preference upgrade is automatic, but if EtherApe detects obsolete parameters
the user will be asked to review and confirm the new settings.
Compatibility Warnings:
- the link-level xml element is now called 'link-id', instead of simply
'link' as in the past releases. 'link' xml elements now refer to
node-to-node statistics.
- removed node-link ratio preference.
- merged link protocol and traffic timeout preferences.
- merged node protocol and traffic timeout preferences.
Changes summary:
- fix for ticket #100, thanks to Salam for reporting it.
- diagram refresh command, thanks to Ronald W. Henderson
- patch to remove artifact when resizing, thanks to Ronald W. Henderson
- reorder keyboard shortcuts, thanks to Ronald W. Henderson
- sort by port on protocol windows, thanks to Ronald W. Henderson
- xml output now containes also link and global protocols statistics.
- link fades with averaging times
- node-link ratio slider removed, ratio always fixed at 1 (links sizes are aligned
with nodes)
- improve statistics repeatability esp. when setting max-delay=0 (useful for tests
or just to calcolate quickly statistics of a dump file).
- new no-display mode (command line only), disables diagram updates (again, mostly
for testing).
- merged link protocol and traffic timeouts.

Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.9.18 (Sunday, June 3, 2018):
EtherApe now is a pure GTK 3 application, with canvas supplied by GooCanvas.
While GooCanvas itself is in maintenance mode, is still the simplest Gnome canvas
library available and with an API almost identical to gnome-canvas, too!
Longer term, EtherApe ui should be completely redesigned and modernized,
but this is for another day.
Changes summary:
- EtherApe ported to GTK3 using GooCanvas instead of the obsolete
GnomeCanvas
As usual, and thanks to OpenSuse Build Service, prebuilt rpms are available
for:
- Arch Linux
- Mageia 6
- Fedora 24 to Rawhide
- OpenSUSE 13.2, Leap and Tumbleweed/Factory. Experimental RPMS for PPC.
