check_tcptraffic is a Nagios plugin to monitor the amount of TCP traffic

Usage:
     check_tcptraffic --critical=crit --warning=warn --interface=iface --speed=speed
                      [--verbose] [--reset] [--help]

     Required arguments
      --critical,c  crit      critical
      --warning,w   warn      warning
      --interface,i iface     network interface
      --speeed,s              speed (in Mbit/s)

     Options
      --help,-h,-?            this help message
      --reset,r               initialize counter
      --version,V             print version and exit
      --verbose,v             verbose

check_tcptraffic uses the /proc/net/dev Linux entry to compute the
amount of transferred bytes from the last plugin execution (temporary
data is stored in the /tmp/check_tcptraffic-iface file)

32 bit kernels
==============

Since /proc/net/dev uses 32bit counters overflows are a problem
(especially on a fast interface)

Speed           Maximum safe check period
-----           -------------------------

10Mbit/s        55'
100Mbit/s       5'8"
1GBit/s         32s
