keeping track of network throughput (volume, or bandwidth(?) )
 

Hello,

Which tool is best installed on a little machine running as a router to
keep track of the network throughput? I am primarily interested in
keeping track of the network usage on a monthly basis so that I know how
much I have used from my ISP.


Currently I have ntop installed. However, I am not sure how to see how
much traffic has passed ppp0 from a particular date and time, for
example between 1 of March 2008 and 1 of April 2008.


Suggestions?

The said machine is running Debian Lenny. I use it to connect to an ADSL
modem via a ppp0 interface (ADSL modem connects to eth0 of this router
computer) all my home computers connect to that machine via a switch
connected to eth1 of the router machine.


thanks,
->HS

bandwidthd

ipfm plus a perl script (which is somewhere on the net) to translate
ipfm data (and some data directly found in /proc/) into mrtg graphs

and also others which apt-cache serch can find

Munin might work nicely for this information, and is very simple to
customize.
