Background
A lot of times its important to record and graph the bandwidth consumed by specific machines on the network or even specific applications and traffic.
The goal of this project is to use NetFilter?-based tools to record and then graph the bandwidth usage of configured networks or hosts behind the bandwidth monitoring server.
Project Details
- RRDTool is an excellent way to collect, build and graph information in a simple round-robin fashion and over regular intervals.
- In this project we will use NetFilter? / iptables matches to account for the traffic and then write programs to extract this data to feed it to RRDTool for storage and subsequent graphing.
