And if not, you can extract
* HTTP-Traffic from Apache virtual server log (take i.e. wwwstat)
* FTP-Traffic from proftpd extra accounting log (per virtual FTP server)
i.e. ExtendedLog /logdir/logfile-acc dirs,read,write accounting
Count via bc or perl
* Incoming SMTP-Traffic can be catched via maildrop (byte counter log)
[vpopmail@titan bieringer.de]$ more .qmail-testsize
| /usr/local/bin/maildrop /home/vpopmail/domains/domain/maildrop-testsize.conf
maildrop-testsize.conf:
logfile "/home/vpopmail/domains/domain/maildrop-testsize.log"
`echo $SIZE >>/home/vpopmail/domains/domain/maildrop-testsize.bytes`
to "!realaccount"
exit
Count via bc or perl, take twice and you have the expected POP-Traffic also
included
TCP & IP-Overhead isn't counted, also on HTTP not the request traffic.
I've compared such values against IP accouting and got estimated:
~ * 1.1 for non HTTP
~ * 1.3 for HTTP (depending on content)
