Argus is a generic IP network transaction auditing tool that has
has been used by thousands of sites to perform a number of powerful
network management tasks that are currently not possible using commercial
network management tools.

Argus runs as an application level daemon, promiscuously reading network
datagrams from a specified interface, and generates network traffic audit
records for the network activity that it encounters.  It is the way that
Argus categorizes and reports on network activity that makes this tool
unique and powerful.
