Ubuntu Networking :: Set Up Router With Tomato Firmware To Save The Bandwidth Usage Information?
Mar 20, 2010
I'm trying to set up my router, with tomato firmware, to save the bandwidth usage information. One of the 'save history' choices is "CIFS" ... I'm lost as to how to create this save area..anyone able to give me a link to a 'how to' ...or if you've done it, perhaps a step by step?
I've managed to confirm that I can reach my home network via ssh from a remote location through my SMC Barricade when it is directly connected to the desktop machine but when the second router is put back into the chain ssh requests time out. The second router is a Linksys WRT 54GL running the Tomato firmware. The chain looks like this: ISP's router (bridged) --> Barricade -->WRT54GL-->desktop
The Barricade has port 22 forwarded to the Linksys' WAN address and it in turn forwards to the desktop address. It appears that it is a setting on the Linksys firmware that is preventing the remote connection. I've looked through the various settings many times but cannot see anything that would cause the problem.
I have a network connection between 3 computers sharing the same net bandwidth with the same router (modem), I wanted to know how much every one of this network taking from the bandwidth, I want an easy program like switch-sniffer (see the pic) to scan the network and tell me how much every one taking from this network in real time.
I wish to setup my spare PC as a router. I was wondering what programs, in ubuntu, I can use to monitor and change settings concerning bandwidth usage. I want to throttle down a computer in my network so what program would be good for this?
Using Ubuntu Server 9.10 x64 and a tomato router to act as a wireless bridge to connect to another router. The reason I ask is because I do have the router set on WDS mode on the tomato firmware. I think I have it configured to the best of my ability, but when the interface is up, the signal doesn't get pushed out (no received packets) and it gives something at the bottom of an ifconfig eth0 "Interrupt:28".
What are the pros and cons of various current model ADSL modem routers for use with DD-WRT, OpenWRT or Tomato? There are, of course, hardware compatibility lists (HCLs) for each of these (DD-WRT, OpenWRT and Tomato) but many of the models are no longer available and there are so many that researching them all would be onerous. Many pages on the Internet recommend the WRTG54L and that would be great but it is no longer an option except second user which is increasingly difficult. What are the pros and cons of the various chipsets: ADM5120, AR7, IXP4xx and BCM63xx?
Since this is my number 1 place for asking questions, I figured I would go here first. So I live in New Zealand where good internet doesn't exist yet, and I'm in a flat with 3 other people and we get 40gb a month which hasn't been lasting more than 2 weeks. It is somewhat of a mystery where all our data has gone, so I need a way to monitor usage. We use a variety of operating systems including linux, xp & windows 7 on my pc, and xbox 360. Is there any kind of integrated solution I can use to monitor everything with password protection so it can't be disabled? I have tried looking in the router, but it doesn't give me many statistics, and I think it combines lan with wan usage. At this stage I don't have the money to make a linux box to put between the router and the switch that can monitor everything, but if it comes to it, I will shell out for one.
I have a server rack that I lease out to others. I need a way to monitor each persons bandwidth usage. How can I do this without installing software on their machines or disrupting traffic flow? I have no access to the router, as it is owned by the colo company. I do have access to the switch and firewall, as well as my machines (linux) on the rack.
we have 2 mbps broadband link for our internet connection configured on redhat 9 linux which acts as a proxy server with static ip.i had done dmz for the 2 pc's and given access of the 2 pc's to our client.The client use the remote admin software installed on their pc and connects to our static ip and from the static ip the request goes to inside our lan pc's which is configured with diffrent port and ip address for the remote admin.basically my question is that when they connects our internet goes slow and when they are not connected the internet works fine so i want to know how much bandwidth they are using or what command to check the bandwidth of this connection?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and all was well on my home network until a household member decided to get a laptop and jump on my network. All he does is watch videos on ....., download crap from P2P sites, and maybe even watch p0rn. Is there something I can use to control this or maybe set my router to give him the minimum resources available? Also, I want to block him from downloading junk from P2P sites or places he might get a virus. I'm on a D-Link DGL 4500 Router.
Back in school I remember using an application that would identify active IP addresses on a network, and basically show you a log of activity. We actually monitored another lab and went in and showed them what we saw (all the machines had IP addresses on the monitors.) We could see websites, bandwidth, etc.
I'm trying to find an application that would do this again. I've been trying to monitor my networks to see what machines are performing unauthorized operations. ISP is showing high bandwidth usage and there is no way checking email and browsing is using this amount, 200GB a month! Something is going on here.
is there any way to monitor each application network bandwidth usage ?I've used gnome-system-monitor, but unfortunately it just show the total network activity
I'm on Comcast (insert vomit sound here) and they have a 250GB monthly limit. I don't think I'm remotely close to this on a normal month and want to figure out if I could perhaps squeak by with the 5GB limit imposed by Verizon's 3G wireless broadband.
I'm ideally looking for a quick easy-to-use GUI application, rather than something that's done via the command line.
I thought perhaps I could look in my Account and find a nice "You've used X percent of 250 GB thus far" window. Then I called, but Comcast couldn't tell me. They just borked me off to some Windoze application 3rd party which I'm supposed to install.
I run Skype and occasionally download Fedora iso images and so on. Rarely am I doing more than surfing the web, chatting, and sending emails. I doubt I'm even close to 250GBs but I'm guessing that 5GB will end up being problematic.
Are there any programs that will keep track of how much bandwidth I'm using? It'd be great to have an application that runs there in the taskbar and just shows a graph of how much I've used thus far.
What I want to do is to write a script that gathers some information (like cpu temperature and bandwidth usage) and logs it into a file. I can't figure out how to get a single sample of the current used bandwidth: I've found that there's plenty of tools to get this information from command line, but the majority of them are curses based, so I can't take their output to put it into a file. Among these I've found bmon, that has a nice ascii output. The problem is that this output is updated constantly, while what I want is a single "sample" per program call.
Is there a way to get this done with bmon or someone knows another program to accomplish this task?
I want to know my DSL bandwidth usage in the last 15 days.I have no network monitoring software installed.I have the default installation and my distribution is Opensuse 11.2.Is there a way I can get that information from the vanilla system?
I have a device that must use a real IP address. Currently, my ISP uses DHCP and I can have up to 4 real IP address assigned. However, the cable modem only have 1 ethernet port and it's connected to my router (running Tomato, but can run DD-wrt or other Openwrt if required). Question stems from how I can connect the additional device, requiring a real IP? would be to get a switch and connect to the CM, Router, and Device. But alas, I want to avoid this route, since:
my wiring cabinet in my home is drawing lots of power and heat already Device will be unprotected by any firewall unable to monitor the traffic to/from device.Besides, what would be the FUN in that? what I want to do is to configure the router, so that one of the switchport is removed from the normal br0 bridge. Instead, I want to make it behave like a switch on the WAN port. What's the best way of doing this? Should I create another bridge on the WAN & the device port? Can a single port belongs to two bridges? or would I need to create a subinterface first? Would I need a DHCP-relay? Am I expecting too much from my poor cheapie router?

I have a third party program (tightvnc) which I want to monitor and detect if it loses a connection with a client. I don't care if the client has the program open but isn't doing anything with it, I only want to know if the actual TCP connection is lost.
Since TCP takes forever to die on it's own I was thinking the best way to detect if a connection is lost is by bandwidth the bandwidth on the tcp port allocated to the VNC connection. Are there any tools built in to redhat (RHEL 5.2) which I could use to do this? Since I don't have full control of the operating system I would prefer to use built in tools rather then trying to get a new tool installed.
All routing settings made with the ip tool (route command) are lost when the redhat server reboots.How to save routing information to a configuration file?
I have the HVR-2200 TV card, which works great in windows, And I have found the linux driver.[URL]... What I cant do is figure out how to install the driver/firmware information in Ubuntu 10.04.
I'm getting DDoS attacks on my server, and I need to block all the attacking IPs.But for that I need to know which IPs are attacking me.I was thinking that I should log the bandwidth usage per IP so I can tell which IPs are using excessive bandwidth.How can I achieve this? I'm using Ubuntu 10.10.
I'm using CONKY on Ubuntu 9.10, and trying to display network usage statistics for my 3G internet. I want to display something like the following:
Code:
Today--------------------- UP : xxxMb DOWN : xxxMb Past Week:---------------- UP : xxxMb DOWN : xxxMb Past Month:--------------- UP : xxxMb DOWN : xxxMb
I live in the boonies, so I have satellite internet. It's not too bad, but I'm restricted to 200 mb's of download per day.
I'm looking for an app that will keep track of my usage, so I don't go over 200. I was using "System Monitor", but it's a little buggy, so I'd like to try something else.
So, my mother is out in the deep country and all we can get is Xplornet Satellite internet. They have a fair access policy (FAP) that says they will (and definitely do) throttle your speeds if you download more than 50MB or upload more than 5.5MB in one hour. This restriction resets hourly. As you can imagine, this is fairly limiting, but we have to live with what we have as there are no other options specifically where we live. Right now, I have Conky configured to show the ${totalup wlan0} and ${totaldown wlan0}, but that is per session. In this example, since the computer started, 8.74MB have been downloaded and 1.95MB uploaded. However, this information is somewhat irrelevant as we really only need to know the current usage starting at the top of the hour. Maybe even show the previous hour too.
I recently read a windows tip which read: - Windows allots 20% of the bandwidth by default for various services like Windows update, spyware checks etc. We can get hold of this bandwith by changing the values of limit reserve bandwidth under QOS packet scheduler. Now my questions: How to limit the bandwidth usage used by ubuntu updates in the above lines?
I have one dedicated server in godaddy. Now I got mail regarding overage bandwidth. I don't know how to check this and I must give report how its happen.
I want to install Ubuntu on several stand alone machines without repeating the several hundreds MBs updates on each machine using Synaptic. I understand the installations/updates files would reside in var/cache/apt/archives. So I can copy them to be used for the next machine. But specifically how? And can the non-OS files in a 64-bit machine be used in 32-bit machines' updates/program installations?
I'm trying to create a script that will find the bandwidth usage of certain protocols only. For example, SMTP. I would like it to just return a number. Is there a known command/parameters to output something like this?
I'm looking for a simple way to monitor and log my internet bandwidth usage. Not total network device usage, just internet usage.Something that provides a simple chart of daily, monthly, and yearly usage, but ignoring all bandwidth on my internal LAN.I notice several possible tools, such as vnstat, ntop, iftop. Yet all of them seem focused on tracking the entire network interface. I want to ignore LAN usage. I do not really care about LAN bandwidth.iftop seems intended only for on-the-fly usage and not cumulative logging. I can't tell whether vnstat or ntop can be configured to log only internet usage rather than all traffic through the network device.
I do not want to log every connection like squid. The utility should only log stats on a daily basis, but also be able to display cumulative totals from those daily entries.I don't need DNS resolution, port monitoring, etc.I prefer something that runs in the background as a service or daemon, but can provide statistics quickly with a terminal window. All I want is to view total daily, monthly, and yearly internet usage. Perhaps even pipe the output to a local email each day too.
