[seul-edu] Network Monitoring Tools



I have just set up  RedHat 6.2 box to function as a network monitoring station and am looking for suggestions for good "real-time" tools.
 
In a past life, I used a tool that ran on the Mac OS and allowed for building of a graphic representation of the network with colored lines between devices showing traffic status. I cannot remember it's name, but I believe it simply used pings to determine latency.
 
I really need something graphical so that when the superintendent or board members come in complaining I can just point to the monitor and show them where the problem is.
 
I'm also looking for a packet sniffer that will resolve target IP addresses on the web. (catching porn peekers, etc.) Again, simple and graphical is necessary.
 
Thanks,
 
Jay
