+darkstat is a packet sniffing daemon that serves statistics over HTTP using a
+builtin web server. Statistics can be refined using tcpdump filter expression
+syntax.
+
+Features:
+- Traffic graphs, and reports per host, showing each port for each host.
+- Embedded web-server with deflate compression.
+- Asynchronous reverse DNS resolution using a child process.
+- Small. Portable. Single-threaded. Efficient. Uncomplicated.
+
+Once you have started darkstat (see the manpage), you can access your
+network monitor by pointing your browser to: http://youripaddress:667
