I was looking for a way to monitor Tx and Rx on the network. Ideally, I would like to categorize the data as TCP and UDP Tx and Rx, but I'll take what I can get. Does anyone know of a way (Win32-specific or cross platform) to gather this data in C++? I was hoping to have a thread that sits out there monitoring the network adapter for activity. Any ideas?

libpcap lets you do that. It's used by the Ethereal network sniffer, so it's pretty solid.

enum Bool { True, False, FileNotFound };

Great. That's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Appreciate it!
