      @narf:

      Im not going to pretend to know anything about this, but can't the already built-in RRDtool graping functionality be tailored to do this for us?'

      I mean a nice page that showes us the bandwidth statistics in text of each host on the network - and maybe checkboxes next to those hosts to create a nice RRD graph to see who (or in our case, what) is hogging the bandwidth over any given time frame. Maybe even functionality to define groups of hosts (read departments) for graphing for an easy overview of whats going on.

      Regarding the pledges, I cannot speak for the others, but, given as this would be a valuable feature, I'd be willing to pledge $50 to this cause (cash is tight right now  :-\ )

      Hrm.  This makes me think.  PFTOP + RRD would do something similar to this…

      Scott

      Pretty graphs with useful information is what its all about ;)

        Okay, I am ready to do this project.

        If everyone that has pledged money is serious, please paypal half of the money promised to sullrich@gmail.com

        Once I receive half of what everyone promised I will begin working on this.  Should be able to have the project knocked out in about 2-3 days time.  So if everyone can get the money to me sometime today then I will have all weekend to work on it.

          I have only received 15$ so far.  If I do not receive the remaining money by tomorrow I will refund the 15$, lock this thread and will not be doing this package in the future.

            Not trying to step on any toes Scott, but it's only been two days since you said you wanted the money. Perhaps a little more time is in order. :)

              I had time this weekend, lots of it.  My schedule is filling up quick until the end of the year unfortunately.

                I just paypalled off my half.

                I didn't see the new posts in this thread until now.

                Is it too late?

                I'd have to agree with sdale, this thread started Sept. 17th. Is been on and off since then. People aren't checking back as often as they were before…

                  I hear you all but I have a MAJOR development deal that I have to fulfill and I will not have any time before the end of the year.

                  The package would have most likely already have been done if everyone was paying attention.  Oh well.

                        Im not sure whats going on anymore.

                        It seems as though Sullrich has lost interest (due to time contraints) in implementing this, yet he isn't stopping us from paypalling in our bounties.

                        Can you please resolve this confusion, Sullrich? Are you still willing to implement this feature, or should we give up hope?

                                      this is also something I have a need for. I want to be able to view bandwidth info in and out for day, week, month and total. I want to see what local ips did what and where the bandwidth is being used on what port/protocol. I also would like there to be an alert system so it can email me an alaert once a number was reached for downloading and I'd be able ot choose that for a day, week, month etc. I'd want it to look like 3mb WAN in, 4gb wan in, 50gb wan in etc type of numbers. It would say, http used 40mb or gb or whatever it has. It's say nntp used 50gb or whatever etc. It'd be nice to see hits for web sites. Such as a top 20 or something that has in order web site traffic info. Like number 1 apple.com 456 hits number 2 microsoft.com 409 hits from top to bottem. but it would be nice to have unique visits and hits as an optioin. so you could view how many times people went to the sites. so if you go to apple.com 5 times it would say 5. the hits option would show total hits which i guess included images and links too. there are some images of what all of this would look like if wanted. from a company that does something similar in their router/appliance.

                                        I plan on starting this project very soon.  If you want to donate to it, please feel free.

                                          I will donate for sure once it's ready and does things I would like, but most importantly when I get money. I don't work right now, but should be soon. So when that happens and the bandwidth info stuff is having the info I'd like and stuff I'm going to donate for sure for sure. I'll wait and see when it's more ready to see what kind of things it will do.

                                            Sure, no worries.  I don't expect someone that currently does not have an income to pay.  Generally its nice that a company backs these bounties…  Or atleast thats what I generally think of that drives these changes.
