DESCRIPTIONtraffic-tops is a filter which accepts a summary generated by traffic-
collect(8) on standard input (or from the file specified using the '-i'
option) and writes an ASCII report to standard output or to the file
specified using the '-o' option.
The report takes the form of a graph of which hosts have been communi‐
cating with each other. To prevent unreadable graphs, the order of
hosts on the graph is randomised, to prevent this, use the '-n' option.
The graph looks best at around 20 to 80 hosts on it. If your report has
more hosts than this it is recommended that you limit the number of
hosts using the traffic-sort(8) tool's '-L' option.
OPTIONS-o --output filename
Write output to file instead of standard out.
-i --input filename
Read input from file instead of standard input.
-n --no-randomise
Do not randomise host order on graph.
-s --suppress-title
Suppress printing of title on chart.
-t --suppress-times
Suppress printing of times on chart.
-T --title title

-b --base-line-width n
Specify minimum line width (can be fractional). If only a mini‐
mum line width is specified, then it is used as the maximum as
well.
-m --max-line-width n
Specify maximum line width (can be fractional).
-h --help
Prints usage information.
-V --version
