Hello List,
I've had a bit of a look at the web site and see there are some netflow
tools.
What I'm interested to know, is given my requirement below, do you see
your tools as being what I need to get the job done or can anyone
recommend another GPL floss bit of software that would help me?
I've managed to get my Mikrotik RB 750G (5 port gigibit, linux based
router) to throw data at my ntop set up and can see all sorts of stuff.
However it doesn't seem to do what I want it to.
I see it doesn't seem to talk about interfaces on the 750 but IP
addresses. I guess that's fine for what I'm interested in.
My next challenge is, how do I get the data in a form I want to see it?
For starters I want to know how much data my wife[1] has used. Now to
make it more interesting, she has two computers – for the sake of
argument we'll assume they're 192.168.88.2 and .3. How do I consolidate
her systems?
I'm interested in knowing a few things:
1. How much local traffic does she generate – ie data to 192.168.88.0/24
2. How much internet traffic does she generate – ie data to things that
are not 88.0/24 and xx.0/24
3. How much traffic does she generate to xx.0/24?
xx.0/24 is another subnet on the same router, eg my neighbour who may be
sharing my internet connection.
I also want to know these stats for each day and each month.
I also want to be able to put a daily and monthly limit on her. ie/eg,
when she's used (ourISPMonthlyDataLimit/2People/30Days) I want to know
about it and then tell the router to do something... perhaps I'll block
her, perhaps I'll just email her and tell her to ease off, perhaps I'll
slow her CIR/BIR.
How do I present all this info? How do I get at it?
Yes, basically I'm currently trying to build a mini ISP billing/traffic
system for my house.
[1] Wife, son, dog, cat... basically other internet user in the house.
