Live network traffic monitor

[admi...@gmail.com]

Hello,
Sometimes I see that my computer sends sth to the internet without my interaction, maybe sometimes it was cause by something like auto check for upgrades or something else, but I always wonder which VM is doing that.
Is there a tool or is it possible to do something like live (graphics or not) monitor. I mean usage of network traffic and (if it possible without additional security risk) to which host/ip and port VM is sending the packet. Of course for each VM separately.

Regards

for live traffic monitoring use wireshark. it will also dissect packets for you showing you what each field means. its a great learning tool. you can also run apps like darkstat or ntop for logging. there's console version of wireshark called tshark. never used it.

I'm using iptraf.

You can run it in a proxy or netwm to see all connected VM's traffic.
