Analyze load of the channel to Internet

[Gary Gatten]

If you simply want ingress/egress "load", nTop provides much more detail than I think you need, but in your case you would run it directly on your BSD routers. It will load libpcap and capture/analyze/graph the traffic flowing through your routers.

Hello Gary,




Due to what I've read about ntop - it is not really what I need.

I dont have any Cisco routers, nor switches with port-mirroring - so I could not collect any traffic. I have only 2 freebsd routers - and need to know - when the outgoing channel of first gets overflowed and I need to redirect outgoing traffic to second

almost any NIC / OS will support SNMP MIB-II counters, which includes octets Tx and Rx. MANY tools available for "getting" snmp mib values.




If you want util AND details on IP, ports, etc. - check out nTop.org

Hello everybody...

Need to view and get real-time reporting of outgoing channel to Internet?

I think, that this is may be realized by means of ipfw (e.g. - get counters

of count rules for Internet and divide them to time, which passed between

analyzing)

But, maybe, there is an utility, to which I can communicate (or which could

analyze) my outgoing channel to Internet - and report me (mean some

redirection script) when an outgoing channel gets overflowed, and I need to

redirect all other outgoing traffic to another channel.




I would like to clear: I have to channels for Internet, meaned for gaming

club - but I don't have enough finance to afford buying some Cisco device

and this 2 channel are 512 kilobits and 768 kilobits of outgoing traffic




Please, help
