i help running a small wireless mesh. altough our p2pfilters at
gateway nodes are fairly acurate, we sometimes find people resorting
to all kinds of tricks to circumvent those.

to ease pinpointing villains, is there a way in iptraf to sort ip
address by *upload* only?

No - but it's an easy enough change to make if you want to hack it. In ui.c find this bit of code:

int screen_line_bandwidth_compare(host_pair_line* aa, host_pair_line* bb, int start_div) { int i; for(i = start_div; i < HISTORY_DIVISIONS; i++) { if(aa->recv[i] + aa->sent[i] != bb->recv[i] + bb->sent[i]) { return(aa->recv[i] + aa->sent[i] < bb->recv[i] + bb->sent[i]); } } return 1; }

and delete the "recv" part of each of the sums. I guess it would be nice to sort based on what's on screen, but obviously that's a bit more involved.
