Re: Bandwidth Monitoring by IP

If you're running *BSD, install a packet filter that counts octets - one filter rule per IP address. Then sample every 5 minutes. On 6/20/02 5:48 AM, "Mitchell, Dan" <Dan.Mitchell@hosting.com> wrote:

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a low-cost solution for monitoring bandwidth by IP? My original thought was 1 switch port = 1 IP, but in the case of virtual IP's on a single port, that just wouldn't work. I'm seeing more and more of a demand for a basic BW report by IP, so our customers can bill their customer accordingly.

Any recommendations?

Thanks, Dan
