Yeah. There’s a lot of traffic running through all the wires and through
the air at my place. lol!
Lately I’ve been looking for a good tool for monitoring ALL my traffic
on one machine. Means if I have traffic running through my virtual
machine (Windows), that traffic shoul be counted as well.
The tool should measure up- as well as download and be able to give a
warning when reaching a certain traffic limit.
Tell me which tools are “best”. A neat graphical interface wouldn’t
hurt as well.
Surprise me!

Hi.
I mostly use iptraf and iftop. When you want a nice gui try bandwidthd.
Ksysguard shows a plot of upstream an downstream as well. Unfortunately,
none of the tools mentioned can send a warning, I think.
Um… that’s not good. I really need a great tool with warning ability.
I’m still trying a few products. If someone else comes up with a good
solution - always welcome to hear.
Others might get interested too. Please don’t hesitate to post. ^^ -TheMask.-
Um… I feel like I need to push this. I am still looking forward for a
great hint on a piece of software that spits out a warning when reaching
a certain limit.
Does any of the above have a warning feature?
Guys, I am sad to need to force this topic again.
I am looking for the following (but can’t find it anywhere):
-A network traffic monitor that…-
-spits out a warning when reaching a certain traffic limit
-is able to monitor up- as well as downloads
-has a good GUI
-saves stats automatically and…
-summs up weekly, monthly and yearly totals.
-it should be easy to configure and be compatible with the KDE
environment

I think there is no program like NetLimiter - it’s such a great tool.
This is Linux. Sometimes you need to hack if you want eXtraz.
I wrote a blog post about net-limiting a long time ago:
‘News from Planet OS-88: Traffic Limit on Linux’
(http://akoskm.blogspot.com/2009/01/traffic-limit-on-linux.html).

I think, I’ll keep writing more HOW-TOs.
ps.:I’ve stared to write an interface for it in Java.
