RE: [CFTALKTor] OT - Network traffic

If you any old PC you can throw linux onto, linux has built into the kernel (ipchains) the ability to monitor bandwidth in a couple of different ways.  As long as it is on a broadcast LAN, it can be set count packets/bytes for frames destined for outside your LAN, or coming in from outside your LAN.  This means you will need a spare port on your linksys, or piggyback your a hub onto your linksys.     Terry Fielder Network Engineer Great Gulf Homes / Ashton Woods Homes [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 1:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CFTALKTor] OT - Network traffic Hi All,   Sorry to post off topic, but I was wondering if anyone on the list know of any way of metering the amount of traffic we use from our ISP.  We are shopping for a DSL connection but we haven't got a clue how much we have.  We are presently using a small linksys router to share our present connection.   If anyone has a suggestion I appreciate it.   Please reply off list.   Thanks   Mickael
