Bandwidth Monitoring by IP
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 Dan Mitchell Internet Systems Engineer - Boston AllegianceInternet / Hosting.com 781.478.1857 Direct Line dan.mitchell@hosting.com
Dan, it depend... if you turned off snmp on host, then you should be able to monitor not neceessary control.. for unix box, I am sure there is way to control as well. if you are using cisco, then there is a command called traffic-shape will allow to restrict outbound traffic to the host .. :-) Tatsuya /_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Tatsuya Kawasaki Allegiance Internet Phone 800.581.8711 Fax 240.616.2414 Affiliation given for identification not representation /_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ On Thu, 20 Jun 2002, Mitchell, Dan wrote:

See if something like: http://mhtg.the.net/ could do what you need. It's just running off netflow data, as someone else suggested, but it's a nice frontend for it.

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:
