Hi Geoff, I am wandering whether bandwidthd doesn't do that work for you :)
I use it for a graphical view (graph) of the bandwidth generated (outgoing) and received (incoming). Its an 'apt-get' based project: bandwidthd - Tracks usage of TCP/IP and builds html files with graphs I like it :) (There is a DB version pgsql that allows you to store the data in a database, which eases further analysis, such as by-port, by-host, by-host-pair) On Monday 08 September 2008 20:46:41 Geoffrey S.
